Lucky 13
Choice Based Learning
According to a Governmental study in 2022, over 90% of the UK prison population is Neurodiverse, however our educational offering provides little to cater for a wide and diverse spectrum of learners. A new approach to education, curriculum design within the hands of each student. A pack of 13 cards delivered weekly containing aspirational themes tethered to a block of learning.
The full-colour, learning cards are providing accredited educational material to over 2,500 prisoners in UK and USA prisons.
InHouse Records
worlds first prison based record label
What if the siloed delivery in prison of maths, English, garnering poor engagement and attendance were transformed to resemble a lake of learning? Aspiration, lifelong learning and a serious reduction in re-offending.
InHouse Records operates in UK and USA prisons as an alternative to education that continues when students leave prison. 428% Increase positive behaviour and an incredible 0% Re-Offending rate.
Aux Magazine
music journal for prisoners by prisoners
As a response to the pandemic measures on UK prisons restricting movement to just 15 minutes a day out of cell, we designed the only fully colour arts based magazine for prisoners by prisoners. Aux Magazine has exponentialy increased literacy in UK prisons, having distributed over 75,000 copies in the UK.
Emily Thomas the Governor of HMP Isis said of Aux: "Young men here have been having to spend lots more time in their cells and the weekly magazines have been really popular. We're really grateful for the support because it means that our young men know people are thinking of them.”
Crossbar
How You Play Shapes Who You Are
Crossbar is a football-led education programme delivered in UK prisons. It has been co-created with prisoners, designers, UEFA-licensed coaches, educators, and player care alumni, and is built specifically for men who do not engage with traditional education.
The need is clear. Many people in custody have experienced repeated failure in education from an
early age and live with undiagnosed or unsupported neurodivergence. Classroom-led, text-heavy approaches continue to miss those most in need, who often find themselves in and out of prison.
Crossbar responds directly to this vicious cycle by creating a virtuous spiral of engagement,
achievement, and progression.
