is a Brent-based, pan-London not-for-profit voluntary organisation.
It uses the creative arts to develop the potential of both
youth and adults. Its core projects are centred around music
business and music technology courses; writing workshops and
writing competitions; ceremonies recognising unsung people;
and family and community cohesion projects.
Its

from socially disadvantaged or excluded backgrounds or areas.
BTWSC was co-founded in April 2003 by its co-ordinator, Ms
Serwah, FRSA, a Ghanaian-born barrister and social activist,
after she successfully completed a CEMVO Millennium award

Nu-Beyond
is an independent, Afrikan centred, organisation that recognises
the factors that exacerbate the tensions between the various
communities who see Britain as their home. These tensions
are experienced in racial, sexual or class driven patterns
of behaviour, which are invariably socially and historically
created. Such creations manifest as barriers in all areas
of our public and private lives, including, housing, employment,
education and access to services. Nu-Beyond endeavour to tackle
the root causes of discriminatory practices in a fashion that
relates to real life experiences, without compromise, thereby
providing an example of self reliance that leads to self determination.
