Butler Trust

To all of the #HiddenHeroes in UK prisons, probation, youth justice and immigration detention - especially those of you who are working today - a very Merry Christmas, from all of us at the Butler Trust.

Congratulations to all of the 400+ #HiddenHeroes from right across the UK nominated for this year's Awards - and a special congratulations to our outstanding 2025-26 Award Winners and Commendees. butlertrust.org.uk/people/awards/…

Today is #HiddenHeroes Day and we’d just like to send our own heartfelt message of thanks to everyone working in UK prisons, immigration detention, probation and youth justice settings – you may be hidden, but you’re not forgotten.

Wednesday is #HiddenHeroes Day – a chance to say thank you to the men and women working in UK prisons, immigration detention, probation and youth justice. Please share any messages, as well as any images from the day, using the hashtag #HiddenHeroes, and we’ll share them too.

#HiddenHeroes Day 2025 is 24 September – a day to remember the men and women working in UK prisons, probation and youth justice services; thank them for their service; and remind them they’re not forgotten even if they are largely hidden from public view. HiddenHeroes.uk

You’ve still time to put someone forward for a Butler Trust Award and help give them the credit they deserve – anyone can do so, but hurry, nominations close at the end of the month! butlertrust.org.uk/awards #HiddenHeroes #Prison #Probation #YouthJustice

If you know someone who is outstanding at their job, show them their efforts have not gone unnoticed and put them forward for a Butler Trust Award! butlertrust.org.uk/awards #HiddenHeroes

This year’s Butler Trust Awards are now open! Help us give credit where it’s due to those #HiddenHeroes who go above and beyond in their work, and put someone forward today – anyone can do so and it’s really quite easy. butlertrust.org.uk/awards
