Flora Women's Mini Marathon 2010

Team IPRT took part in the

2010 Flora Women’s Mini Marathon

Dublin, 7 June 2010

Raincoats and swimsuits were perhaps of more use than runners on the day, but we were not daunted! Two members of IPRT staff – Agnieszka (our Research and Policy Officer) and Fíona (Communications and Campaigns Officer), along with interns Kate and Lynsey, and board member Mary Rogan, walked (and waded) the 10km in aid of the the Prisoners Information Project.

You can still sponsor us!

Although the mini-marathon is now over, donations to the Prisoners Information Project (more info on this below) are still very welcome. We appreciate any amount, no matter how small. Thanks for your support!

What is the Prisoners Information Project?

Over the course of our work in 2009 and 2010, we have received an increasing number of queries from prisoners and their families about life in prison, the rights of prisoners, and the support available for prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families.

For this reason, in 2010, we are planning a number of activities to make such information available. This will include information for prisoners on life in prison, and their rights while in prison; information for prisoners' families on how to access advice and support; and information for ex-prisoners on issues they face after leaving prison, and the services available to them.

All funds raised through sponsorship of the IPRT Team will go directly towards the production of information for prisoners and their families, and making sure that it gets to those who need it most. We will be very grateful for any support to enable us to make this happen!

Thank you,

TEAM IPRT
