\nOur Criminal Justice System (CJS) includes many of society’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged people. Through theatre and film, we help those in or at risk of entering the CJS. We build bridges from prison to social reintegration, break cycles of offending and prevent young people taking that path.

\nSynergy is a small charity with big impact:
\nReal change happens closest to the community. For Synergy, it happens inside prisons, in schools and pupil referral units, during workshops, and in theatres. It’s not about our size, but about the trust, relevance, and deep connection we build. We hold communities together, creating belonging where it’s fragile, opportunity where it’s scarce, and hope when it’s needed most. For the vulnerable individuals navigating the justice system who rely on us, Synergy may be small in size, but with a 97% non-reoffending rate, we are BIG in impact.
\nWhen small charities thrive, communities thrive:
\nFor individuals trying to rebuild their lives after prison, small charities aren’t just organisations; they’re absolute lifelines. 80% of people say small charities are vital to society and make a real difference. As one of workshop participant put it: ‘I’m engaging my brain in positive ways, and creative projects like this make me feel safe and seen.’ Every single pound matched during Small Charities Week means more lives transformed. Your support will make double the difference.
