The Irene Taylor Trust

The aim is that our interventions will empower individuals with the skills, self-confidence and motivation to overcome past difficulties and take control of their futures.
Music in Prisons uses the creation of original music to reveal the full extent of people’s untapped potential, giving them a fresh perspective on their own ability which they can take forward into other areas of their lives.
Positive outcomes include; the development of new skills and qualifications; increased confidence and self-esteem; resilience and mental well-being; improved relationships; greater social, cultural and economic capital; enhanced knowledge of other partners/services and progression routes into education, training and employment. Projects are expertly constructed to provide positive learning experiences that can act as a vital catalyst in the process of rehabilitation and reintegration, helping to nurture the skills needed for individuals to become valuable members of their communities.
