I'm proud to have worked as part of an organisation that makes the arts truly accessible.I assisted the Development Director in securing Koestler Arts' funding from Charitable Trusts and Foundations, and in running our individual supporter programmes. Working with so many different supporters from across the UK was a real privilege, and I'm grateful to everyone who helped (and continues to) support Koestler's work in the criminal justice system.
