Standford Hill Family Centre (Café Two66)
At Standford Hill, we aim to build on family initiatives and work closely with our partners to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for all visitors.
HMP/YOI Standford Hill recognises the importance of maintaining strong relationships between prisoners and their families. Positive visits and family engagement can help individuals cope better with life in custody and support their successful resettlement into the community.
“Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.”
Facilities at the Family Centre
Café Two66 offers a range of refreshments, including:
-
Freshly prepared hot meals
-
Snacks and drinks
-
Homemade cakes
The Family Centre provides a relaxed and welcoming environment for families to spend quality time together. Please note that Café Two66 does not accept cash, as cash is not permitted within the visits hall; however, payments can be made using a bank card or a visits top-up card.
