Make your voice heard. Get involved in our new theatre project.

Has someone in your family served a prison sentence?


What do you cope with? What do you worry about? How do other people treat you? What do you hope for? What do you need?

We are working with arts organisation Culture Shirt to create a new play. Shouting from the Sidelines will be based on the real stories of mothers who carry on with family life outside when their child is in prison.

We would like to hear your stories and there will be several ways to get involved in this exciting new project, including practical workshop sessions. When the play is created, it will be performed publicly by professional actors, aiming to reach a wide audience and increase awareness, provoke conversations and inspire change.

We are hoping to perform the play in Spring 2021 – so get involved now! Contact denis@sussexprisonersfamilies.org.uk for more details
