Holloway

Some lovely feedback following Monday night's screening of Holloway. "Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a huge huge thank you to you all for making yesterday evening so powerful and brilliant. It was such a great discussion and an honour to meet you all and hear more about your work. It would be great to stay in touch, if possible, and potentially talk more about further impact work for the film or educational/academic screenings in the future! Thanks so much from the whole Holloway team!" All the best, Polly Polly Creed Power Play Productions

Our children and young people's team were pleased to be invited to the first welcome session with newly-arrived unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) in Norfolk held at The Forum recently. "It was a lovely welcome and introduction to the young people and UASC team. The atmosphere was relaxing, & the young people enjoyed creative activities. It was all about getting to know one another and sharing ideas and goals." Here is feedback from UASC Lead, Jennifer King: "I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to you both for attending today’s welcome session. It was so lovely to see you both, and the way the girls interacted with you was truly amazing. Your time, passion, skills, and the resources you brought were very much appreciated."

HOLLOWAY is a new documentary about women in prison, healing, sisterhood, and the need for more trauma-informed services across society. As part of UK-wide cinema release, there will be a special Q&A screening at Norwich Picturehouse on the evening of Monday 11th August; we will be joining the panel Q&A after the screening. The film explores many themes such as gendered violence, addiction, childhood trauma and generational cycles of multi-layered disadvantage that connect so directly to the incredible trauma-informed frontline work that we do.
