The Footprints Project exists to encourage self-worth, nurture, hope, and bring a sense of belonging to people in Hampshire and Dorset who have been affected by prison and the criminal justice system.

Our ‘Second Chances’ art project involves small group sessions with women, run by artist, Samantha March, and facilitated by Footprints Art Co-ordinator, Helen Hempstead. We make items such as totes, tees, jewellery, greeting cards and prints, most of which we sell at The Shire Hall Museum in Dorchester.

These sessions are open to women who have been affected by prison and the criminal justice system. To sign up, or refer a woman to the session, please contact helen@footprintsproject.co.uk

These weekly sessions provide focus, friendship and a sense of self-belief for the women who attend. Find out more: www.footprintsproject.co.uk
