Between June 2019 and March 2020, You Press collaborated with the Greater London Authority (GLA) in order to deliver a follow-up community research project that focused on social inclusion, integration and developing civic leadership in communities that currently do not have a voice in City Hall.
Based on the findings from last year, ROOTS LDN 2019 focused on the communal concerns of Youth Violence and Crime. This project involved 15 researchers from the BAME demographic ranging from 16 to 30 years old. Once the data had been collected, the researchers converted their findings into original artistic responses.

Short Video Summary of the Project

Our 15 researchers found at least five participants each to take part in the ROOTS LDN survey

You Press are very proud of the success of the research model used in the Roots LDN Community Research project.
We would love to hear from you if you are interested in partnering up with us to deliver a similar research project in your own organisation.

'Last month we had the honour of working with one of our clients on their project, celebrating International Women's Day. We believe womanhood should be celebrated every day.
We give special thanks to Burrogrande Film Productions, Paddington Central, Regent's Place, and Broadgate London for this powerful collaboration. We hope you enjoyed the 2-part screening of '36 Voices, 6 Cities'. We would also like to thank the panellists and our young spoken word artists for their time as well as their powerful stories. We wish Cathy Hassan and her team the best of luck in completing the documentary once the restrictions ease.

Meet Sabiha, our previous Intern!
"I would like to thank You Press for having the faith in me and encouraging me to always achieve my best! Being part of the you press family and my first exposure to the creative industries; I feel privileged to have worked with such a talented multidisciplinary team of people. I have had the opportunities to explore so many aspects of my own creativity which has opened up so many possibilities for my own future. You Press should be commended for their encouragement of the youth voice and are vital in representing them. I am so grateful for everything I have learnt and thank Farah with providing the foundations for me to build my experiences upon."
