Sony Music UK Social Justice Fund
Sony Music UK's Social Justice Fund has partnered with Pact for three years to fund our Family Forums project in the East Midlands. This major initiative spans three prisons and will support hundreds of prisoners' families in staying in touch with their loved ones inside.
Thanks to Sony's funding, families of prisoners will convene with senior prison staff in special Family Forums at HMPs Ranby, Gartree, and Leicester. These forums serve as platforms for family members to voice their perspectives, contributing to efforts aimed at facilitating easier visitations for families and their children. Government statistics underscore the significance of maintaining familial ties, revealing a 39% decrease in reoffending rates among people who stay connected with their families and loved ones during their time in prison.
The project, which recognises the pivotal role of family bonds in helping prisoners reintegrate post-release, will collaborate with community organisations, including schools, social services, and court teams. By creating connections between families and service providers, the project seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of imprisonment on children and young people,
Through this multifaceted approach, the project endeavours to smooth the challenging transition post-release, ultimately aiding individuals in securing housing, employment, and a positive pathway toward successful reintegration into society.
Charlotte Edgeworth, Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Social Impact of Sony Music UK, said: "We're delighted to be supporting the expansion of Pact's Families' Forums programme to three new prisons in the Midlands. Criminal justice reform and rehabilitation is a core pillar of the Social Justice Fund, and we're pleased to be working with Pact in this space to help make positive changes for those affected by the criminal justice system in the UK."
