@bendepear @jonsnowC4 I co-run @HopingYork Street Kitchen & am organising an art exhibition for one of our #homeless men, Matty. He painted using tea & coffee dregs in prison during lockdown.Won @KoestlerArts awards. Jon's attendance would help us raise awareness. Any chance? 🙏
At lunch with @jonsnowC4 the chef came up to shake his hand; 20 years ago he was homeless & Jon had turned up at the New Horizons centre where he had been staying (where Jon volunteered) & had said inspiring things to him which helped him turn things around. It gets paid back.
@KoestlerArts are raising money to support prison-leavers to develop their artistic skills upon release! #R4Appeal

My friends at @KoestlerArts (who I've judged for for many a year now) are the BBC Radio 4 Appeal this week. Making art in prison is a key way to help rehabilitation amongst many other things, and is a great thing to support. If you can help, it'd be much appreciated.

Reducing reoffending is vital. For people leaving prison, for communities and for the economy. Every voter should care about education in prisons and rehabilitation🗳️
“Why should voters care if prison’s really awful, where not much education, rehabilitation happens?” “Our reoffending rate in this country costs about £18bn a year.” David Shipley, in prison 2020-2021 says reoffending makes up around a third of the cost of total crime.

I can trace my decision to pursue a writing career from the feedback I received after entering the Koestler prize in 2020. They bring hope into darkness, and change lives.
