We first visited Children at Risk Action Network (CRANE) 10 years ago with a small mobile studio. Since then the studio has grown and the work has increased so much. They now make TV and radio adverts, videos, organise music competitions and provide song writing programmes - all working with children, particularly children at risk, to give them a voice about issues that are important to them.
We're so excited to be back in Kampala to make a film about the incredible growth and impact those 10 years have had on the community.

So great to be back in East London today at Bonny Downs Community Association's Go Wild summer scheme.
We sent our lovely Lucy off with some of the kids to write some lyrics. They'd already written the chorus to their song on knife culture in Newham, so we now needed some verses.
After a while they came back and showed us what they'd produced. WHOAH! We all felt so emotional listening to them singing words coming straight from their hearts. Powerful words to a powerful message!
Was fab showing the kids the journey of making a song and how it's not 'one take and it's done' - yep, they really thought this. Oh noooo...!
We're loving that they're loving this process! Roll on tomorrow!! 🎤🎧😀

We were so pleased to be invited to the 10th anniversary of Banbury Play Day yesterday.
It was a sweltering but really great day designed to show the local community what groups and activities are available for young people and families in Banbury, and to meet the people who deliver them.
It was so good to be able to show the young people how to have fun making sounds and beats on our computers.
Was also good to meet other groups and swap info on what we're all doing in the local community. There's some inspiring people out there!
We may have enjoyed sneaking off for a cheeky ice cream too...😀 #Banbury #BanburyPlayDay #Oxfordshire

An absolute scorcher of a day in London today but that didn't deter the amazing kids from coming to Bonny Downs Community Association's Go Wild summer scheme!
On Monday, the kids learnt how to make beats and sounds and how to lay a track down. Today they started to put a song together about their experiences and feelings surrounding 'knife culture' and the current wave of knife crime in their community.
They've produced a cracking chorus today!
Can't wait to be back next week to see what verses they'll write, and to record song vocals. Some of the kids have great voices so watch this space!
