We empower people to make positive change, realise their potential, and rebuild their lives after prison.

A handwritten poem on lined paper reads: A gift from me to all the past and future StandOut Graduates. StandOut. Stand up my friends this isn’t the end, This is just the beginning so I recommend, With a power mindset and your adult voice, Look fear in the eyes and make a new choice, To stand out and be noticed stand out and be proud, To believe in you focus disclose out aloud, With tone and direction your passion your light, And walk on with purpose take life in your stride, We travelled with coaches way past zones of ease, The questioned and feedback a quality feast, Communication and teamwork we fixed to grow true, And embraced our diverseness red green yellow blue, So stand out my brethren bring on the next test, We are qualities ascending prepared for the best, So stand out your worth it no stand out no less, Imperfectly perfect don’t worry your blessed, StandOut!

“I went in terrified and sceptical… by the end I did a presentation with no notes. I would have never done that before.” StandOut Participant

“Don't focus on what you cannot do in prison. Instead try every day to find something positive, that is meaningful or that you enjoy. I can truthfully say that the three weeks I spent on the StandOut course were both of those and were one of the best experiences of my life.” StandOut Participant, HMP Wandsworth
