At HMP Feltham, we came together to honour Stephen Lawrence’s legacy and spark meaningful conversations about equity, opportunity and change.
As part of the day`s event, we took part in a powerful Roundtable with several leading organisations, discussing rehabilitation, connection with young people, and how we—as a community—can drive real, tangible change for generations to come.
This special event aimed to raise awareness and inspire action within one of the most marginalised communities, reminding us that everyone deserves the chance to grow, contribute and be seen.
We were proud to have our Interim CEO @donaldmbeutcha in attendance, standing in solidarity with those under HMP Feltham’s care and reinforcing our commitment to justice and transformation.
