After the death of Toby Bromley, the Trust’s Settlor, a number of special awards were set up in his memory. These are detailed below:
The Bromley Briefings
We fund the Prison Reform Trust to regularly produce and publish the Bromley Briefings Prison Factfile.
Based on Toby Bromley’s original ‘naive notes’ on prison reform, the Bromley Briefings ensure that up to date, fully referenced facts and figures about what is happening in prisons are made publicly available.
The briefings are written in a clear and concise way and are accessible to a wide range of people in the criminal justice sector.
We hope that the information in them is used to effect much needed systemic change.
Keith Bromley Award for Education & Skills Training
The Butler Trust celebrates the outstanding dedication, skill and creativity of those working in prisons, probation, and youth justice settings across the UK.
They run an annual awards ceremony where we sponsor the Keith Bromley Award for Education & Skills Training.
These awards, and related work, help to publicise and spread good practice in the criminal justice system.
Keith Bromley Hardman Awards
The Hardman Trust aims to increase the number of ex-prisoners making a positive contribution to society by enabling them to feel empowered to take back control of their lives and to achieve greater domestic and financial stability.
Hardman Awards are given each year in Keith Bromley’s name to prisoners seeking employment/business opportunities in practical trades upon release. They help people who have been in prison a long time to get their lives back on track.
We also help to fund their annual Hardman Directory publication. This is a valuable guide to sources of funding and financial support for prisoners and ex-prisoners which can help with resettlement into the community.
Keith Bromley Scholarship Award for Nature Photography / Multi-Media
Koestler Arts aims to encourage people in the criminal justice system to change their lives by participating in the arts.
They name a Keith Bromley Award winner in their annual arts competition.
We also sponsor a Keith Bromley Scholarship Award for Nature Photography / Multi-Media. This provides an ex-prisoner with a year’s arts mentoring support to help them learn new skills and gain the confidence to live a positive and productive life.
