Power to Change - Dwaynamics Community Centre
It’s a glorious sunny afternoon in Loughborough Park, and crowds are gathering at the new Community Centre, opening its doors for the first time under new management.
Smiling faces of garlanded volunteers greet the 250 guests, mainly families with children, attracted by the beats of reggae music, children’s laughter and the smell of a barbecue drifting over the warm air.
This Community Centre has been derelict for 8 years, standing in the centre of the park gathering dust and weeds. Now its potential is coming to life, under the ownership of local boxing gym Dwaynamics, who have refurbished it beautifully.
It couldn’t have gone into better hands. Lorraine Jones, Director of Dwaynamics, has a vision for this place and she’s already putting it into action before the official opening.
Power to Change - Frontline Club
The Frontline Club is a media club in Paddington that champions independent journalism.
It was founded in 2003 by Vaughan Smith, a freelance video journalist and sustainable farmer, to honour colleagues who had died pursuing their work at the front lines of war. He realised that freelance and other conflict journalists had nowhere to meet in London, and wanted a place for them to “sit around the fire and tell stories.”
On Monday 6th June 2022 the Frontline Club hosted a screening of Power to Change with a panel moderated by Sahar Zand, a journalist and filmmaker who has fronted and produced a range of award-winning stories from across the world, for the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, and Vice.
