Owing to our background in community research and our experience as a qualified youth practitioner, we are passionate about creative community engagements and providing holistic support through diverse activities and skills building workshop sessions. Our vision and mission is community - centred, we work towards inclusivity where all individuals can create own solutions regardless of ethnicities and have access to skills and services that can further support  in difficult times. We believe in preventative measures and that tools/skills can determine the outcome particularly in young people and women; hence the number of services in our offering.

One of our engagement tool which is the arts of hair care is not just a styling technique but also a therapeutic art form deeply rooted in various cultures around the world. Girls and boys from ethnic backgrounds understand haircare is more than just a cosmetic practice; it is a meaningful tradition with historical, cultural, and social significance. Hair care is an excellent starter for striking difficult conversations as well as a creative research strategy. 

Through research and inclusivity, we empower the community to take the lead in community research initiatives whilst amplifying their authentic voices through creative research strategies. We pride ourselves in delivering transferable skills, and building community connections, not limited to hair braiding, and being able to kickstart impactful conversations between young people and adults within the community.
