Exciting Partnership Alert at Unlock Drama! 🌟

This month marks the beginning of an incredible year-long journey with Serco who run HMP Dovegate. Building on the success of our initial Recovery, Dependency, and Substance Misuse project earlier this year, we are thrilled to announce a 12-month partnership to deliver one recovery project per month, supporting participants in their recovery journey and aligning with HMP Dovegate’s Drug Strategy.

Key Highlights from Our Pilot Project:

  • Personal Growth: Participants reported significant personal growth and increased self-confidence, noting improvements in handling mental health challenges like temper and anxiety.
  • Teamwork and Social Skills: The emphasis on teamwork and social interaction has forged strong friendships and a supportive community among participants, crucial for rehabilitation.
  • Positive Impact on Rehabilitation: Engaging in our project has provided participants with valuable insights into their behaviours and the broader impacts of substance misuse, fostering a proactive attitude towards recovery and personal development.

Participant Testimonials:

  • "I've felt more human during this project than I have in the last seven years."
  • "It changed my outlook completely; I'm leaving with friends and a new sense of purpose."
  • "This experience has been pivotal for managing my anxiety and boosting my self-confidence."

Our Commitment:

At Unlock Drama, we are dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of drama to facilitate recovery and personal development. Our workshops are designed not just to entertain but to empower, educate, and inspire change. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with Serco  at HMP Dovegate, contributing to meaningful change and supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of our participants.
