Testimonials
Choose Life receives a great deal of positive feedback, both from those who have visited Walton prison and those who have taken part in the training days. Plaudits come from the individuals who have used the project directly, such as students and youth workers, as well as political figures and academics who praise its frank, direct nature and real life, 'human' approach. Here are just a few instances of the thanks and praise Choose Life receives...
"Your programme graphically underlined the critical importance of effective prevention and education within the overall drug strategy, and the enormous part which projects such as Choose Life play in delivering the changes on the ground which we are all striving for."
Mr Vic Hogg, Director of the Drug Strategy Directorate (Home Office)
"I have seen this play performed before local youngsters, and was very impressed by it. I was so impressed that I recommended that Keith Hellawell should view it. He did and was struck by it in a similar way. It is certainly an excellent vehicle for conveying strong messages about substance abuse and its effects."
Peter Kilfoyle, MP Walton Liverpool, Honorary Advisor of Choose Life Steering Committee
"I am very impressed with this show. This is just what we need to get the anti-drug message over to youngsters. Projects like this also have a good impact on the inmates."
Keith Hellawell, former Drug Tsar
"A valuable resource for teachers and youth workers... The Choose Life initiative is a small scale endeavour that has had a powerful impact on the young people who have attended the performances and on the inmates who have participated."
Professor Paul Cooper, Professor of Education at Leicester University
"I have never encountered such emotional and enthusiastic feedback from students."
Dr Alana Barton, Lecturer in Critical Criminology
