We were thrilled to welcome Joseph Nami and his team to our Carnival Costume Mentoring Group at John Smit House to record a special podcast for Becontree Radio Station! Becontree Forever🎙️
Over 12 vibrant weeks, our participants and peer mentors come together to design, create, and perform in dazzling costumes for the Barking & Dagenham Carnival. But this programme is about so much more than costumes; it’s about creativity, connection, confidence, and community. 💫
Through our partnership with Becontree Broadcasting, we’re proud to be capturing the real voices behind the sequins, stories that reflect the heart of our borough and the power of the arts to support social, economic, and mental wellbeing.
👇 Listen now and let us know what you think. Your feedback means the world and helps shape our future work.
