After much reflection, I'm announcing my candidacy for Mayor.

The infrastructure is ready. The community is behind it. The timing feels right.

More to follow.

Happy April Fools Day. I'm going back to building Citizen Hubs. 😄

So many people are pointing at what should be done and who should be doing it.

Here's a guy offering to walk into a community and teach AI skills for free.

This was my response. ☕ "Everything is free mate"

The government says 3% NEET by 2050. At Inspire 2 Ignite, we’re taking the 3% challenge to @AnthropyUK.

Making the case that we can get there by 2030.
This isn’t about programmes.
It’s about navigating the system.
Time to move from conversation to commitment.

The Centre for Social Justice x Inspire 2 Ignite CIC x Sir Gareth Southgate.
A huge privilege.

We were invited to bring real lived experience into the room. Frontline insight and hard truths was the brief Sam & I got ahead of this. What is actually happening for young boys.

If your only contribution is outrage in the comments section of a Facebook group, you’re not a local voice. You’re just local noise.

Just because we have had success with fundraising, doesn’t mean we aren't able to bootstrap still!

I also have quite the distaste for posters too! 💩

We can also utilise these to teach online banking and keeping up with Instagram, as it will mirror a phone screen.

We can’t keep pretending every young person is broken.

When youth infrastructure funding drops by 75%, outcomes don’t decline by accident.

This clip is from a new podcast due to launch on Time to Talk Day (5th Feb) I’m co-hosting with Olivia Hubbard from CPSL Mind.

What an unforgettable night!

Yesterday night we celebrated a year of hard work together with some of our supporters and volunteers.

Seeing everyone come together and support DLAG has been incredible, and we can’t wait to spend 2026 together with all of you as well 💙💛

The King and Queen, alongside Federal President Steinmeier and Ms. Büdenbender, have joined a reception in partnership with The Big Help Out to showcase the positive impact of volunteering in communities.

The Big Help Out was first launched in 2023, during The King’s Coronation weekend, to encourage people to get involved with volunteering.

The Big Help Out has inspired Federal President Steinmeier to launch Germany’s very own volunteering day “Ehrentag”. The first nationwide “Ehrentag” will take place on May 23, 2026 – the anniversary of the German Basic Law.
