There are many reasons why someone might choose to learn to read, for some that includes being able to read to their children. Today on Father’s Day, many learners will be able to read a card from their child or perhaps be able to read a book to them for the first time.

Thank you to this mentor at HMP Nottingham for such high praise. It is because of our mentors, volunteers and prison colleagues that we can continue to change lives and give people new opportunities.

We play the beats. Listeners write the words. Poet and presenter Unchained Poetry gives feedback. A simple format, delivered to perfection in partnership with Shannon Trust Chequez is a Free Flow graduate - we invited him to re-record some of his original bars from behind bars 🔥
