This year’s HiddenHeroes Day is on Wednesday 24 September.

Launched by HRH The Princess Royal, back in 2020, HiddenHeroes Day is held annually in tribute to everyone working in UK prisons, probation and youth justice services – to thank them for what they do, and show them they're not forgotten even if they are largely hidden from public view.
