We are a long-established charity, started 20 years ago. We principally work with young people to educate and inform them about the dangers of criminal behaviour and stage multi-agency crime and safety awareness days in secondary schools.
We also take offenders, released on licence to these days and have employed offenders and ex-offenders to deliver workshops in schools which has given them a purpose in life and assisted with their rehabilitation.

Unlock Drama (UD) has over eight years’ experience working across the criminal justice system, delivering in more than 30 prisons with groups including sex offenders, young offenders, women vulnerable prisoners and foreign nationals.

Prisons we work within include: HMPYOI Swinfen Hall, HMYOI Brinsford and HMP Send etc.

UD utilises creative methods, which offers a unique tool that encourages teamwork, confidence, communication skills, motivation, organisation, listening skills, leadership, resilience and more. UD deliver creative projects closely linked to rehabilitation and focuses on addressing dominant concerns within the prison estate such as Engagement in activities, Substance Misuse and Debt.

UD also delivers issue-based theatre within the community working with participants such as: recovering drug addicts, homeless, young people at risk of offending and ex-offenders.
