That is why it was so important to complete the jigsaw by teaming up with Novus. The organisation is part of LTE group, the country’s first integrated education and skills group delivering across the education and skills spectrum, so it was too good an opportunity for us to miss.

Sarah Hartley, Operational Lead for Creative Arts, Enrichment and Families for Novus said: “Working in partnership with Pride in Prison and Probation on the Pride events over the last few years has been great in enabling new opportunities for learners to participate in.

She passionately believed in the rehabilitation of offenders through access to learning and skills and served as Chair of the Novus Divisional Board in addition to her role as Group Chair. She represented her many charitable causes with the utmost conviction.

Philip is already an active member of the LTE Group Board, the Group Operations Divisional Board, Novus Divisional Board, Investment & Estates Strategy Group, Remuneration Committee, Appointments Committee and Governance Committee.
