No, the world is not broken. Gloom can be conquered. As for those headline stories about the young going astray, homelessness, prison overcrowding, come and meet Goldster’s light that shines through fog. The charity work of the magnificent and bubbly Eva Hamilton stretches from Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying in Calcutta when she was in her twenties to founding Key4Life which helps thousands serving time in some of Britain’s most dangerous prisons. Eva and her colleagues have turned around lives of the most vulnerable young men, many raised without a father and challenged by poor mental health. Her methods include therapy with horses which she brings inside prisons and immediately sees how young prisoners calm and form relationships with them. In earlier work, she set up the Seeing is Believing programme with HRH The Prince of Wales, (now HM King Charles), and took six hundred of Britain’s top business leaders into deprived inner-city areas. Her mission – to persuade businesses to employ the less privileged in our society. Eva’s success jumps out of grim statistics. The national rate of reoffending among released prisoners is 64%. Among those who join Eva’s programmes, it is just 7%.
