Thank you Rowan for this insight into your pioneering work, engaging & inspiring prisoners.
1/2 The actors I work with in prison are SO talented. One of them has done these illustrations for me this week to support some work I’m doing as a volunteer with young adults with complex neutodiversity needs @bard_un@BordersAlliance
@rm_mackenzie@bard_un@BordersAlliance These are beautiful Rowan. The incredible, artistic, talented, guys within prison never cease to amaze me.
All they need is the opportunity, resources and some encouragement.

A year ago today my first MoJ contract started. Always said I had no desire to be self employed, but my passion for the work I do eclipsed that. Wouldn’t have changed it for the world @bard_un@BordersAlliance@HMPHewell@stafford_hmp
Todays the day! Alarm went off before 4am -so much to do to make it happen but happen it will! Can’t wait to see the faces of families and loved ones filled with pride later @stafford_hmp@bard_un@IanWest17@BordersAlliance
@actionwork Thankyou. As always the performances were amazing. But the true value of the work is in the skills, confidence, community and shared humanity we build together. @bard_un#cjs#prisons#rehabilitation#theatre
