Art

OC is an arts company working with prisoners, ex-offenders and young people at risk of crime.

Since 2006 we have delivered eight theatre productions in London prisons and at our venue in King's Cross. Read about our most recent productions here and here.

We also work with our members on film, music and writing projects.

Personal Development

OC is a resettlement charity for prisoners and ex-offenders.

We seek to convert the psychological upshot of our arts projects - increased confidence and responsibility - into practical benefits for our members.

We work with each new member to prepare a Personal Development Plan and provide structured assistance in each of the 'Seven Pathways to Reducing Re-Offending' used by the National Offender Management Service i.e. employment, accommodation, health, drugs, finance, families, and attitudes.

Community

OC is a membership body for prisoners and ex-offenders and a crime-fighting organisation for London.

We host social occasions and arts events for our members and their families. We also lead arts-based crime reduction projects for young people with our members acting as leaders and facilitators. Read about our youth workshops here.
