The Irene Taylor Trust
The Irene Taylor Trust was set up in 1995, in memory of Lady Irene Taylor, and is committed to fostering the use of music as part of the rehabilitative efforts within socially vulnerable populations, especially in the criminal justice system. The Trust’s main focus of activity is to deliver high quality intensive music projects for groups of prisoners and people in other secure facilities throughout the UK, promoting positive growth, wellbeing and skill development. Since its beginning, the trust has delivered 318 projects across a very wide group of prisons and Young Offender Institutions, as well as a number of secure and medium secure hospital units and Youth Offending Teams, reaching a total of around 3814 participants and 20,000 audience members. It has enabled the creation of 1500 pieces of original music as outputs of these initiatives.
