At Junction 42 we recognise the
power of creativity to engage those
who find engaging hardest. Whatever
the media – be that art, music or
craft – it is a vehicle for us to help
increase confidence, trust, interaction
and participation with those who struggle
most. Engage projects have included
National Prison Radio, Storybook Mums,
choirs, fundraising events, and one-off
inspirational events.
We also deliver education courses that
use the creative arts to encourage the
personal and social development of those
taking part. We have worked with Reflex
nationally to produce high quality,
accredited courses that support people
in custody such as Urban Skillz Music
and Urban Skillz Theatre. To read about

prison establishments, download our

and recorded during our creative courses
that use music and lyric writing as a
means of expression:
