Forward invites you to attend an online concert to raise vital funds for our work in helping prisoners and ex-offenders break the cycle of crime and addiction. Footage from the concert will also be shared with our prison clients in the run up to Christmas, lifting spirits at the end of an especially challenging year with Covid-19 limiting their access to family visits and meaningful activities, including many of our programmes and interventions.

The concert will feature a unique blend of performances including readings by Jonathan Pryce (Academy Award nominee for The Two Popes and star of Game of Thrones), Griff Rhys Jones (comedian, writer, actor and TV presenter) and Dame Harriet Walter (star of Downton Abbey and Killing Eve), a range of musical performances, and inspirational messages from former clients and our More Than My Past ambassadors.

The concert will be compèred by Jason Flemyng, actor, producer and star of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
