Every year, we ask the Life After Prison audience to complete a short survey. Your answers help us understand what’s working, what we can improve, and they also help us show our funders the real impact of the show. It only takes a few minutes and your feedback really does make a difference.</p><br><p>Today, we’re joined by Jon Watts – better known to many as Chef Jon. Jon’s story is incredible: from serving time in a young offenders’ institute, where he became the first prisoner to complete all three levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, to working with Jamie Oliver (while still in prison), writing a Sunday Times bestselling cookbook, and appearing on national TV. We discuss his journey through prison, how cooking became a lifeline, and the work he’s doing now to inspire others leaving the system.&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong><u>Useful Organisations:</u></strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Clink Charity - A charity reduces reoffending by training and rehabilitating prisoners through real-work experience in its restaurants, cafés, and gardens to help them build skills and employment opportunities after release.&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Liberty Kitchen - A social enterprise that supports ex-offenders by providing culinary training and employment opportunities through its street food and catering projects, helping people rebuild their lives and reduce reoffending.&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Food Behind Bars – Food education in prisons – improving food quality, cooking skills, growth and wellbeing&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><br><p>This podcast is also available as a video – just search <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@lifeafterprison" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Life After Prison</a> on YouTube.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Contact us:</p><br><p>If anything you’ve heard in this podcast has inspired you to make a positive change in your life, or you’d just like to get in touch, please contact us.</p><br><p>💬 Socials: @afterprisonpod on Instagram and X, @lifeafterprison on TikTok</p><p>📧 Email: [email protected]</p><p>✉️ Write: Life After Prison, National Prison Radio, HMP Brixton, London SW2 5XF</p><p>🖥️ Website: https://lifeafterprisonpod.com/</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
