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

What a year it’s been!

[Dr Rowan Mackenzie @rm_mackenzie]

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

[Dr Rowan Mackenzie @rm_mackenzie]

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

[Dr Rowan Mackenzie @rm_mackenzie]

@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

[Dr Rowan Mackenzie @rm_mackenzie]
