About the project – New Chapters
This 12-week programme uses creative writing to raise aspirations, help young people find their voice and empower them to tell their stories. Sessions cover a broad range of genres and themes – from lyric writing to memoir – and authors with relatable lived experience will facilitate guest sessions. The programme will be delivered and assessed in three Young Offender Institutions (Feltham, Werrington, and Wetherby) and one Secure School (Oasis Restore). Each 12-week programme will culminate in a celebration event recorded by National Prison Radio.

We’re looking to learn more about the impact of the arts, sports and wilderness and adventure activities on reducing violent offending behaviours for children and young people who have been – or are at high-risk of being – affected by violence, offending and/or exploitation.
