In a moving video, Unseen Victims founder Emma Wells sits down with respected local Cumbrian businesswoman and coach Jenny Brumby to share the personal and powerful story behind the creation of The Unseen Victims Project β€” a growing initiative dedicated to supporting the hundreds of thousands of people affected by a loved one’s imprisonment.

The video, beautifully produced by Lexi and Bill at Whamos Ltd, Millom and made possible with funding from Cumbria Community Foundation, highlights the urgent need for emotional, practical, and advocacy support for families left behind by the criminal justice system. Emma discusses how Unseen Victims was born out of lived experience, and why the work remains more vital than ever β€” especially for the estimated 100,000 + children currently identified in the UK as having a parent in prison. These children, along with partners, grandparents, and siblings, often face stigma, isolation, and systemic gaps in care.

β€œThis project isn’t about excusing crime,” Emma explains in the video. β€œIt’s about recognising that punishment extends far beyond the prison walls β€” and that those affected deserve compassion, guidance, and a voice.”

The conversation with Jenny Brumby explores both the emotional weight of these experiences and the strength that grows from community. Jenny’s insight as a coach adds depth to the dialogue, underlining the importance of healing, resilience, and forward momentum.

As the Unseen Victims community continues to expand β€” now over 1,300 members, with numbers expected to exceed 6,000 by the end of the year β€” this video serves as both a reflection of what has been achieved and a rallying call for further awareness and support.
