Naija Jazz & Styles at The Tramshed

We were honoured to join the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Cllr David Gardner, and Cllr Olu Babatola, Greenwich's first Nigerian Mayor, at Naija Jazz & Styles.

The evening was a Global Fusion Music & Arts and Ad-Royce Studio celebration of Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary at The Tramshed Theatre in Woolwich. Thank you to the organisers for having us.

A day at the town hall with Councillor Olu Babatola

We spent the day with Councillor Olu Babatola at Woolwich Town Hall. Seeing someone from our community in that seat meant a lot.

We talked about how Visionary United can make an impact in the community, what support is available, and some exciting things in the pipeline.

We left inspired to keep making a difference for young people.

Our young artists

Why Visionary United CIC matters

Talent like Kenz's needs a platform and a safe space to grow. When young people have somewhere to belong, something to work toward, and people who believe in them, their energy goes into creating rather than being left to drift. Without positive outlets, too many young people are left vulnerable to the pull of gun and knife crime.

Visionary United CIC is helping to change that. By backing artists like Kenz and providing the space for young talent to thrive, we're building a community where creativity, purpose, and opportunity come first. This is how we help combat youth violence: by giving young people something to build instead of something to fear.
