On the 8th October, I will be running the Royal Parks half marathon for Unlocked Graduates. Unlocked Graduates exists to train innovative leaders to become prison officers; bringing fresh thinking, new ideas for reform, moral reasoning and procedural justice to the prison service, in aid of supporting individuals in their care to make more positive choices to prepare for their life on the outside

As an ambassador of the program I have first-hand experience of the positive impact a good prison officer can have, I have also had the pleasure to mentor Unlocked Prison Officer's and witnessed the incredible work that Unlocked Graduates do every single day.

Whilst the core programme is funded by statutory income. Unlocked relies on donations and philanthropy to pilot new ideas and test new innovative approaches to rehabilitation.

Thanks in advance for any donation and keep an eye out for so pre-run fundraising. Would love to see as many of you possible cheering me on as I pretend to run with ease, whilst crying on the inside.
