Fine Cell Work is a charity which makes beautiful handmade products in British prisons. Our unique products have been designed in collaboration with some of the country’s leading contemporary designers & are all h&-produced in limited editions. Teaching prisoners high-quality needlework boosts their self-worth, instils self-discipline, fosters hope & encourages them to lead independent, crime-free lives. They are trained by volunteers before carrying out their work in-cell & in prison workshops. We also provide post-prison support upon release. At our London-based community hub we provide work experience, formal training & employment to ex-prisoners, with the aim of getting them back into work.
