#ITT25
#ITT25 - it’s day 1 of our 25th anniversary celebrations, so let’s start at the very beginning (a very good place to start): It’s 1995. Sara Lee, a recent Butler Trust award winner for her work as music coordinator at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, is asked by the Taylor family to set up a charity in memory of Irene Taylor, who had been on the awarding panel, a great believer in the benefits of music in prisons. Sara had no idea how to set up a charity, but that wasn’t going to stop her! With help from the Taylor family, prison contacts and old music colleague Nick Hayes, Sara started to develop the Music in Prisons programme…
25 years later it’s still going strong! As well as working in prisons, ITT has grown gradually in response to the needs of beneficiaries, in 2012 expanding to work in the community with former prisoners on the Sounding Out programme, and with young people from challenging circumstances on Making Tracks projects.
