Shackleton Foundation Leadership awardee Harriet Laurie has won patronage from TV star Martin Clunes, for her work changing the lives of young offenders in Dorset.

Harriet made headlines last week when Bridport News reported the news that Mr Clunes was to join a former MP in endorsing the youth project, which encourages rehabilitation of inmates at Portland Young Offenders Institution through interaction with horses.

The project will continue to run throughout 2011 having received funding from the Shackleton Foundation. To read the Bridport News story in full, click on the image on the left, or to find out how you can apply for a Shackleton Foundation Leadership Award (SFLA), click here.
