Untold is a charity that works with young men in prison to build the technical and soft skills required for entry-level positions in the creative industry – and a brighter future.

Together with industry leaders, we have created a rigorous and credible curriculum design to help our young men not only uncover interests and hone talent but also re-engage with learning, gain practical qualifications, and begin to develop meaningful careers before release.

Our courses are embedded in the pre existing prison education offered and open to all young men in prison with a particular focus on the men from black and ethnic minority backgrounds.

We have partnered with HMP YOI ISIS to deliver our bespoke programmes, co designed and tailored to meet the needs of the young men there. Our programmes are delivered by brilliant partners such as the Brit School and the Young Vic, which we have supported through the funding from the Buffini Chao Foundation.

“We are so grateful for the donation and support received from the Buffini Chao Foundation. Through this support, we have been able to deliver more programmes and see many more young men accessing our programmes which they would otherwise not have the chance to. The Buffini Chao Foundation has helped us to make impacts in the lives of young men here at HMP ISIS, who want to rewrite their story.”
