Background
Crime prevention charity Only Connect engages young offenders in custody through creative arts. Its co-founding director Emma Kruger knew the power of drama to engage young people, through her experience of teaching the subject in mainstream schools and to pupils who had been excluded. She had also worked with ex-offenders, who she says "had a natural desire to go back to young people and talk to them about the mistakes they had made". Bringing ex-offenders and performances into schools to change young people's attitudes and behaviour was a natural progression for the charity, which launched its OC Impact scheme in 2008.
