There is something very special about how you mix something so creative, enjoyable and thought provoking.

Nick Hardwick, Former Chief Inspector of Prisons

Normally in prison you can’t show weakness, but in here you can be the real you.

A participant 2020

I think it’s a fascinating and worthwhile project.

Our patron, Bill Bailey

Here we have been taught that we can be ourselves, we can express ourselves, and still follow the rules.

A participant

Fantastic. An unusual project – we should have more like it in here because it gives people hope – both us and our families on the outside. Performing before your family is a great feeling.

A participant 2019

This is a special thing – a life opportunity.

One year on, feedback from some of the individuals who took part is still very positive, expressing that it had improved their confidence and aspects of their mental health.
