Art plays such a key role in changing lives- it has been a privilege to work with like minded people bringing the arts into our work with people in prison/on probation- delighted to share this report (5/10)- hope it helps others to use the evidence and do more of this good stuff!

@xrpartisan Glad you addressed this - have had the exact example on my mind, though we had a Video 2000, not betamax. Worked brilliantly, but no one rented out films.

Can anyone recommend orgs/groups that do/could do good arts type work with ex-offenders, those on the fringes etc? Mainly interested in North, Mids and London - looking for partners for some project bids. DM or email [email protected] if interested or for more info.
