The impact on those we work with can be profound. Many have long histories of offending, have negative experiences of education, have struggled with addictions, have deeply rooted emotional issues and have never worked. As a result of taking part in the company’s activities many break the cycle of offending, engage with other arts projects or courses, some have gained degrees, some have had their writing produced while others are working as drama facilitators, actors, stage managers and TV extras or enter other forms of employment.
In this new 3-minute film, some of Synergy’s beneficiaries talk about the impact of the work.
