Barnardo’s has extended its retail activity to a women’s prison, recently opening
a shop at HMP Bronzefield, in Ashford, Middlesex.
The new store, which has proved
popular with prisoners, sells ladieswear, childrenswear, toys, books and a small
selection of menswear.

The charity already has a workshop within the prison, where prisoners paint flower
pots, which Barnardo’s sells in its nationwide network of stores. The initiative,
which began in November 2004, has been developed in conjunction with the Inside 
Out Trust, which helps prisoners to learn new skills, improving their employment
prospects after release.
