“This moment right here is because of the great youth clubs, the great teachers and the great schools that support young people playing music…”

We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are.
Last week Power The Fight launched the Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP) Report, a presentation of the school’s work we have conducted over the last year.
Later that evening we launched our Patron’s Circle.
WHAT IS THE PATRON’S CIRCLE?
The Patron’s Circle is an opportunity for individuals and businesses who are passionate about tackling youth violence to make a significant impact in the lives of young people and families.
By becoming a patron, you will join a community of like-minded individuals who share a commitment to creating more peaceful environments for our communities.
Your support will enable us to expand our reach, develop innovative programs, and provide vital resources to those
who need them the most.
As a patron, you will not only have the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a tangible difference in the lives of young people, but you will also have the opportunity to engage
with our work on a deeper level. Through exclusive events, updates, and networking opportunities, you will
have the chance to connect with fellow patrons, our team, the young people and families whose lives you are impacting.
We are thankful to Dean Forbes @forbesfamilygrp for becoming our first Gold Patron. Shouts to our Silver and Bronze Patrons who agreed to be part of the Patron’s Circle that evening.

A week ago we put out the groundbreaking Protecting Young Black Lives, Celebrating Black Professionals report. This is the culmination of two years of work, in partnership with @CumberlandLodge, @powerthefightuk and the @C_S_Network at Durham University. It focuses on two key matters: issues that currently compromise the safety of young Black people, and the contributions made by Black professionals who are committed to keeping them safe.
The report follows a conference of the same name that took place in October 2023. The event brought together 50 Black professionals from a range of sectors and disciplines; the first time @cumberlandlodge had hosted an event for Black professionals and the first time many participants had been in a Black majority work environment.
Have you read the report yet? What are your takeaways?

Tonight was a madness. @powerthefightuk won charity of the year for the charity times awards and I’m apparently social media leader of the year. Man feels like Ancelotti in 2010 winning the double. We give thanks 🙏🏾
"This moment that we're celebrating right here is testimony to good, special people."
@EzraCollective take a moment to shout out all the aspiring young musicians out there as they win the 2023 Mercury Prize with @FreeNow_UK!
