Photos from our Safer Spaces panel event at Newham Music

We are pleased to share a selection of photos, taken by Chris Baker, from our recent Empowering Safer Spaces panel event, which was held on 17 Sept at Newham Music.

We invited a range of stakeholders to come discuss issues affecting them or the young people they worked with and explore solutions on a local level.

Our new Community Ambassador Tiwa King hosted the event, with panelists including:

• Alyson Hodkinson, UK Head of Sustainability, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield
• Lisa Stepanovic MBE, Founder & CEO, Social Ark
• Tamsin Ace, Director, East Bank
• Ioana Simion, Artizine
• Kianu Glasgow, Dipped In Creativity Engagement (D.I.C.E)
• Zakarriyah Katakyie Addae-Kodua Khalil, Founder, X-Conversation CIC

We had a full house including local entrepreneurs, young artists, community organisations and funding bodies. There was stimulating interaction between the audience and panel, which covered a lot of ground and enriched the conversation around Safer Spaces. We will update you with the next steps and share our vox pops recorded at our event.

Thank you to Newham Music for providing an amazing venue and invaluable support from their staff. Also a huge thanks for the support from Social Ark young people.
