You may remember that in the summer we worked with some amazing young people in Newham, helping them to write and produce a song about their experiences and feelings surrounding the current wave of knife crime which is deeply affecting them and their community.
This weekend we had an absolute blast at the red carpet premiere of the #Darknesstolight music videos.
Hosted and organised by the young leaders at Bonny Downs Community Association - there was dancing, glitter face painting, glow sticks, food, mocktails, a photo booth, and of course, the unforgettable music videos!
The young leaders and young people did everyone proud, speaking about the importance of "putting knives down and valuing life". It was so good to see so many friends, family, people from the community, including the local councillor and local M.P. coming to hear this important message.

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
