After the launch of SSDB, our centre then embarked on our journey with our selected community partners
New Life Stories was established in 2014 to prevent intergenerational incarceration. New Life Stories is an IPC (Institution of Public Character) that aims to provide children of incarcerated parents with essential reading and pro-social skills to ensure that they are not left behind in their crucial early years of development.
New Life Stories has put in place a holistic strategy targeted at providing support to children of the incarcerated and their families. The programme aims to provide these children with educational and emotional stability so that they can have a fairer start in school. Their parents are also supported by our customised in-prison workshops to prepare them for their release and to give them the reassurance to successfully reintegrate back into society. New Life Stories also educates and guides the families by providing them with essential tools to be self-sufficient.
We raised a total of $620 during the Art Fiesta exhibition which was made through the selling of the artworks! This was made successful with the support of our stakeholders! 94.5 cents out of every dollar donated goes directly to charitable activities and services supporting families such as in-prison parenting workshop, therapy, case management, family & children workshops
