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!
Read about arts interventions for young offenders delivered by Ingeus through the Community Rehabilitation Companies in the latest report in our evaluation series written by independent criminal justice expert, Russell Webster. ow.ly/9xpp50HG4MY

Dear all, please see attached with the latest regarding coronavirus and safety at #HMPLeicester and please share with anyone you think this may affect.
Highlight of my week.. @SNOWY2018 telling me how he'd guided a young man through the process of applying for enhanced, then granted it. He's been either behind bars or on licence since 15, and this was the first time he'd even been within touching distance. So proud.

3rd of 4. In the real world, it's the final day tomorrow. There'll be callouts..
We know press ups won't save the world, but if everyone who gives this a like makes a gesture of caring to someone, or makes time for their own mental health, it's been worth it. #MentalHealthMatters
