Probation

Creating Change is an 8 week programme delivered to groups of men and women on probation.

Each session will be a mix of creative exercises and tasks designed to be fun, active, reflective and forward-looking. Using a combination of applied arts, the group members are invited to step out of their often complex lives and become part of a collective that begins to ask wider questions about personal and social narratives.

It's fun, led by the group and the space aims to be non-judgemental, trauma informed and follows a 'challenge by choice' ethos.

We specialise in amplifying the voices of those with lived experiences of the Criminal Justice System and always aim to share the creative work at the end of the programme.

This is a partnership project with Hampshire Cultural Trust. Click here for more information about their Criminal Justice and social impact work.

"I have a deeper understanding of self and how and why I and others may react as they do. I wanted the team to explore who they are, have fun and bring insight into their lives. Thank you. You Guys rock!"

"It has helped me to learn how to avoid making impulsive decisions, to think about things before making rash decisions. Thinking about how my decisions can affect my life."
