AN arts programme in Southampton has achieved a prestigious mark of excellence.
The Kri-8 Arts programme is run by the Southampton Youth Offending Service and the John Hansard Gallery.
Supported by Hampshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Hayes the initiative sees young offenders take part in activities, including music and art.
And Arts Council England has now awarded the scheme its Artsmark status, which means it has achieved a high standard of service.
