Company activities and impact

Power Play Activities 31st May 2023 - 31st May 2024 1. Community Support Programs: the company might have focused on specific community support programs. For instance, you could have organised workshops, provided mentoring, or offered free classes in skills. These activities can have a significant, positive effect on participants. Over the course of this year, Power Play continued to edit and produce a trauma-informed grassroots, impact-driven documentary film ‘HOLLOWAY’ co-created with six women who have lived experience of imprisonment. As part of the documentary edit process, we have collaborated throughout the year with our contributors, platforming their lived-experience expertise. We held therapist-supported screenings for them to contribute and input editorially in the creative process, as well as offering ongoing therapist and mentoring support. Our contributors gave us feedback that being part of this process of the film has had a cathartic, healing input on their lives, not only helping them achieve closure in terms of their experiences of imprisonment but also platform their voices to impact positively on representations and discussions around women in the criminal justice system. We also held a feedback workshop screening at Working Title Films for lived experience leaders and those working in the criminal justice sector to creatively input and feed into the film. We have also continued planning and fundraising for an impact campaign that will accompany the film’s release. The impact campaign will offer workshops, mentoring and discussions platforming women with lived experience of prison and raising awareness and education amongst the public and stakeholders/those working in the sector. 3. Partnerships with Local Organisations: Collaborating with local non-profits or other community organisations can amplify the impact of both parties. The company might have provided logistical support or shared resources, benefiting the community in various ways. As part of creating the film, our impact campaign and our LAYERS campaign we have continued to foster partnerships with charities and non-profits working in women’s services and the criminal justice sector. We plan to collaborate closely with these organisations on the impact campaign to help increase awareness of the need for trauma-informed approaches, particularly in relation to the women’s prison system. Some of the charities we are working with include One Small Thing, Women in Prison, and Women Make Movies, and Clean Break. 6. Awareness and Advocacy: Sometimes, raising awareness about important issues can be as valuable as financial contributions. If the company engaged in advocacy or public education on issues like mental health, education, or public safety, they could positively influence the community. We have been working with our contributors and partner charities on creating a powerful, far-reaching impact and awareness campaign around the subject of women in prison. This project will highlight the need for a trauma-informed, lived-experience led approach to the system not only within the prison system but across schools, social work teams, domestic abuse services, the care system, and other agencies. The awareness campaign will consist of Q&As, screenings of the film, workshops, and sessions for judges, stakeholders, civil servants, and members of the public. It will gain widespread press and social media coverage amplifying its impact further. In collaboration with Aliyah Ali’s non-profit, Daddyless Daughters, we released the films and photographs from our deeply impactful ‘Layers’ project online. These consisted of 30 filmed interviews with women who had been imprisoned in Holloway Prison. This online campaign, in conjunction with our physical exhibition in March 2023, helped bring awareness to the issues of maternal imprisonment, trauma, domestic abuse, the care system, and the way that trauma impacts so many women who come into contact with the criminal justice system. It has been viewed by thousands of people. We also screened the films at the Imago Dei Women in Prison annual conference, helping to build awareness and bring lived experience voices to the fore within the sector. Academics Dr Rachel Seoighe and Dr Carly Guest have also continued their research on our Holloway project, and have used the report on the project to further awareness within an academic and third sector context.
