Honoured to have received the Community Innovation Award at the Solihull Civic Honours Awards last night.
Out of 250+ nominations across the borough, it means a lot to have what we’re building recognised in this way.
Through KBC Media, I deliver DJ, photography, and videography workshops to young people in schools, at Kingshurst Library, The Pavilions, and within custodial settings, creating real pathways into the creative industries for those who don’t always get access to them.
This award isn’t just about me; it reflects the young people showing up, learning new skills, and building confidence in environments where opportunities can be limited.
A big thank you to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for the recognition, and a special thanks to Paula and Kingshurst Parish Council; without your support, this wouldn’t be possible.
If you’re involved in education, youth work, funding, or partnerships and want to help expand this further, I’m always open to connecting.
Plenty more to come.
