Referring to MiO
We take referrals from prisons, probation and other local voluntary organisations within criminal justice sector. Participants have a number of options available to them dependent on their current situation and what they hope to achieve with us. Our intention with all of our participants is that they move on to find further positive use of their time and continue to engage with us in other positive ways.

Getting involved
We work to provide opportunties for individuals to get involved in exciting art and design projects that range from intricate artworks to large scale shopfitting installations or public artworks. At MiO we will help you transition from one stage of life to another and provide the support you need to move forward.
