  I'm a youth worker from North West London. I was looking to hire a mobile recording studio to come down to our youth centre for a project. Someone recommended Youth Unity who manage the Unity Hub, so I got in touch with their founder and managing director Shirley. From the first phone call I knew I'd found the right project partner. We worked together for six sessions to deliver some brilliant music and podcasting projects with young people from our centre. Shirley, Paul and the team came down every week with energy, enthusiasm and creativity. They really inspired our young people and created lasting memories, and together we smashed the outcomes for our initial project. We cant wait to work with them again soon!
