Writing Hope

In the Spring of 2024, we put out a call for creative writing relating to the impact of an individual's or a loved one's criminal record.

‍

The creative writing could be a poem, short story, script, comic strip, letter or song...

‍

Each submission was offered a voucher as a thank you for their time and efforts.

‍

Writing Hope was sponsored by Annie Hope, who is the facilitator of the creative writing group Writing Strong and a Next Chapter Scotland team member.

‍

We received a wonderful selection of submissions, all of which can be accessed below:
