Fundraiser for seriously injured Prison Officers family ‍♂️

A prison officer was assaulted on 14th March, which led to him having serious injuries. His family have asked for his name and picture not to be shared.

As a result from being assaulted, he has spent almost 3.5 weeks in intensive care following on from surgery due to a bleed on his brain.

He is now awake and been moved to a ward. He has several months of extensive rehabilitation ahead and at least another couple of months in hospital before he can come home.

He’s receiving daily visits from both sides of his family and whilst they’ve obviously not complained about costs, I’m aware this is becoming costly for them with daily train tickets and fuel. As well as refreshments for themselves and things they are buying for their Son. Each side of his family are doing a 110 mile round trip daily as he’s in a specialist neuro hospital, which is where he will be staying for most of his rehabilitation.

It would be so nice if we would raise some money for his family to take off some of the financial strain they’re going to soon be baring.

In June several staff across HMPPS will be taking part in a 3 peaks challenge to raise money for the officer and his family.

Any help would be appreciated, no matter how small. All money raised will go to the officers family.

Thankyou
