If you experience or witness a hate crime, please know there is support available for you.

Ten years without a permanent home. Today, she's helping people across Camden find connection through creativity.

Growing up, Milli-Rose travelled the world with her mum. But back in London, they spent ten years searching for a permanent home.

After finally moving into a social housing flat in Camden, a conversation over coffee sparked an idea: create a space where people could come together through music, poetry and creativity.

In 2023, that idea became Crossword Lyric.

Three years on, it has grown into a thriving creative community.

Funding from the council's We Make Camden Kit, with support from Camden Giving, has helped Crossword Lyric reach more residents and create opportunities for young people to build confidence and develop their talents.

It is a great example of how community-led ideas can help young people thrive.

Congratulations to Milli-Rose and everyone who has been part of the journey. 🎉
