ROOTS LDN Community Research Project

What is ROOTS LDN?

ROOTS LDN is a community research project, run by You Press in collaboration with the GLA (Greater London Authority). The project focuses on social inclusion, integration and developing civic leadership in communities that currently do not have a voice in City Hall.

After the success of the first project in 2018, we ran a second project, ROOTS LDN 2019, which focused on exploring the root causes of youth violence in London.

View both of our projects here:

Roots LDN 2018
Roots LDN 2019

What does the project involve and why should I apply?

If you are between the ages of 16-30 and from a BAME background, get in touch! We are looking for a group of 15 talented young people with an interest in creative arts/writing and giving a voice to their communities.

During the project, our young people will interview their family members and turn their stories into an art form, such as short stories, poems or visual comics. Training will be given to participants to develop their skills in these areas, and they will have the opportunity to see their work published in a collective booklet at the end of the project.

How long is the project?

June 2019 – March 2020.

How do I apply?

Applications are now closed for ROOTS LDN 2019. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date with future opportunities.

One of You Press' June highlights was having the opportunity to work with Renaisi, on the Theory of Change workshop.

During the workshop our team and some past project participants were able to reflect on our methodology for planning, participation and evaluating how You Press creates social change.

Thank you to Mylene Pacot, the principal – Strategy & Impact for leading the workshop and Paul Hamlyn Foundation for the consultancy support. We are grateful to have gained valuable insight that will help our organisation going forward!

IT’S NEWHAM HERTIAGE MONTH 🤩 @newhamheritagemonth

We are beyond excited that in the month of June our local area, Newham, is being celebrated for its excellence.

Our social enterprise began in this very borough 10 years ago and after migrating elsewhere for a few years, this year we finally returned back to our first base! 😊

You Press love Newham for its picturesque views (as seen in the pictures above), community feel and ultimately for its people.

Our social enterprise is incredibly passionate about helping build up the youth and different communities that reside in Newham.

We cannot wait to offer more to this borough through our programmes and projects - so please stay engaged with us and our future endeavours in Newham!
