Last year at CW we developed our own all in one diary & journal. We believe this is an essential tool for people in prison, prison staff and people in the community to achieve and progress towards a positive future.
The exhibitions are always such a motivating insight into the creative minds in prison. Keep an eye out for when the latest exhibition is live.

For the third year, LJ was invited down to join the @KoestlerArts judging panel for their upcoming 2026 exhibition. The UK's longest-running arts awards for creative work made in criminal justice settings
He judged the ‘Drawing’ category - alongside Phoebe Boswell and Catherine Streather. Seeing some excellent entries across the nation’s prisons and was impressed by the breadth and ambition of the work.
Amazing to have this important opportunity in the @MyDoncaster Council community!

We will be seeing how their day to day planning has been going. And to see what went well or what needs reviewing.
And they will then receive our newly created CW diary journals which we launched the other week. This will enable them to continue this planning throughout the year
Wednesday was a great way to start 2025 with a CW Workshop delivery to the lifers at @HMPIsis .
We were invited by @Clinks_Tweets at the back end of last year for a 2 Part Workshop, 4 weeks apart to allow time for realistic short terms goals to be met.
We spoke through many topics such as applying clear strategy to plan their days, setting realistic goals and staying on track.
This delivery is in 2 parts. We will be going back to HMP Isis in a months time to meet up with the 2 groups.
