The String of Pearls Project CIC
Who We Are
We are a group of people - some of whom have, or have had, a family member in prison - and we use the arts to convey how a prison sentence affects the rest of the family.
We do this through
- poetry
- drama
- paintings
- music
- training and mentoring

Why String of Pearls?
Because isolated families are weakened - link them together and they become stronger and recognised as valuable. (And it's a name people remember!)
