Prison ministry
By law every pagan prisoner in the UK is entitled to a visit from a Pagan Chaplain. There are around 140 prisons and Young Offenders Institutions in England and Wales and, at present, less than 50 Pagan Chaplains; large areas such as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Kent and Surrey have no Pagan Chaplains at all, so please, if you think you can help, either by becoming a writing Chaplain or a visiting Chaplain or if you would like more information please contact Anne via The Pagan Federation Prison Ministry, BM Box 7097, London WC1N 3XX

About PEBBLE
PEBBLE is the "Public Body Liaison Committee for British Paganism", set up by a number of Pagan organisations following a report by the Home Office's Faith Communities Unit, in which guidelines were set out for all government departments to include minority faith groups in consultations regarding laws and guidance that affects them.
The PEBBLE committee is presently made up of representatives from:
- The Pagan Federation (PF)
- The Pagan Association (PA)
- The Council of British Druid Orders (CoBDO)
- Pagan Network (PN)
- Pagans in the Public Service (PiPS)
- Heathens For Progress (HFP)
