  Our brief was to design a prototype intervention for 16-21 year olds in the borough to smooth tough transitions between education and employment. The focus was on the 'overlooked middle' - those not at risk of NEET nor those who are Russell Group university candidates. Over 8 weeks we spoke to 139 young people, 5 schools, facilitated 10 workshops, identified best practice in the area, in-depth employer interviews, and 19 young people experienced our prototype. Our work was delivered to the Divisional Director of Growth and Economic Development at the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

  I am working on my first Science Fiction novel - a lifelong dream and personal project. Watch this space. "The future, in Fiction, is a metaphor. If I could have said it non-metaphorically, I would not have written all these words, this novel; and Genly Ai would never have sat down at my desk and used up my ink typewriter ribbon in informing me, and you, rather solemnly, that the truth is a matter of the imagination." - Ursula K. Le Guin
