“Thank you #HiddenHeroes Day” celebrates and gives thanks for the outstanding service of the #HiddenHeroes working in our prisons, IRCs, probation and youth justice services, across the UK, especially during Covid-19.

The people who work in our prisons, IRCs, probation and youth justice services, perform a critical public service, yet what they do is largely hidden from view. Their role is difficult at the best of times and been made even more so by coronavirus.

“Thank you #HiddenHeroes Day” aims to raise public awareness of the role played by staff and volunteers across the sector, and to show them that, while they may be hidden, they are not forgotten.
