On Tuesday 3rd December, Fashion-Enter Ltd (FEL) Founder and CEO Jenny Holloway went to visit Helen Cox at HMP Leicester to review new ways of supporting young adults on remand. FEL has a long-established relationship with HMP’s in the South East teaching instructors essential technical skills in cutting and stitching.

Jenny commented: “How impressive HMP Leicester is under Helen’s creative ways of supporting people back into work. Recently Helen undertook a Dragon’s Den concept and ‘Paddy’ won with his innovative bear concept. I’m not going to say too much yet but we’re now reviewing how to incorporate Hope-FX and stitching into the prison for next year.  It’s easy for anyone to make a wrong decision in life and then consequences follow – everyone deserves to reflect and become a better person. I had so much time for Paddy and we at FEL are determined to make this program work.”
