The book coming out is an exploration of alternative ways communities keep each other safe, away from policing. In this episode we explore what a safe space really is, and what makes us feel unsafe. It is a fascinating and enlightening discussion, and the recording of this episode goes a long way to contributing to our chapter in the new book by Liberty coming out on the subject. It is not an exaggeration to say that the young people at One Mic Real Talk are some of the most incisive and thoughtful people I have ever worked with, and it is an honour to join with them and with Liberty to think about this essential topic. Keep your eyes peeled for the forthcoming book!!!

After a short hiatus for the summer we are back with SEASON 2 OF ONE MIC REAL TALK!!!! And this season is even better than the last!!!


In this episode we talk about the recent murder of Hypo, the life he lived, Mashtown, the work he and others did to inspire the younger generation to step away from gang life and much more. This episode gets deep and we discuss some sensitive topics, but these are the ones that are so important to listen to, as the team get into the realities of the world around them and how difficult it can be to navigate, even when you think you've got out of the life. Our man DJ Fred leads the discussion on the life and times of Hypo, and discusses the continuous battle we face as a society and as a community, of violent crime. This episode doesn't pull any punches, and asks difficult questions. not only do we talk about the context and circumstance surrounding Hypo's murder, but we talk about gang life life over the last few decades and the situation on the streets at the moment. This one hit different, and most of all Rest In Peace to all who have lost their lives out here, and love to all the family and friends of those taken too early.

In our decade as charity, it’s never been harder to secure funding. Youth services have faced a decade of austerity, they’ve been dismantled and drastically underfunded. The effect of this has been compounded by the pandemic.


We need a minimum of £80k to ensure we can keep our space open 3 days a week with the specialist staff team in place to effectively support young people. Our ambition however, is to have it open 5 days a week, this would cost us £145k. We’re on a mission to secure this by February 2022, and we need your help.

The crew came together to discuss love, relationships, trust and what it means for them in their lives. They ask questions about how we know we're in love, whether it can ever be permanent and the role of trust in relationships. They talk about romantic love, love between their friends, family and the importance of self-love and working on yourself.

In our decade as charity, it’s never been harder to secure funding. Youth services have faced a decade of austerity, they’ve been dismantled and drastically underfunded. The effect of this has been compounded by the pandemic.

Recently the Art Against Knives crew hosted some Young Advocates from The Alliance for Youth Justice in collaboration with Leaders Unlocked. Over the course of the last year the Alliance for Youth Justice have supported these young leaders to conduct research into some of the experiences young people and young adults have of police and the Criminal Justice System, root causes of youth violence and what drives it. This is the third and final instalment of a three part series, focusing on early warning signs and the impact of jail on some of the crew at AAK. This episode is a flip from our usual format, and sees the young advocates asking the questions of the One Mic Real Talk mandem. This was a lively and passionate discussion that lasted over 3 hours, and so it's been a job cutting it down for our three instalment. Make sure you give this episode a listen for some amazing insight and thoughtful reflection on society today, and the impact of it on young people.
