BEROOTED KAD

About me:

BEROOTED is a new organisation that aims to empower the youth of today. The main focus of this organisation is to create role models in deprived areas within the UK, and to give young people a positive education and outlook in life. The concept of BEROOTED is to provide free professional career advice to young people. We will do this by giving them work placements around the country. BEROOTED was set up by Kadra Hassan, who works in the music industry and Lloyd Samuels who has worked with young people for over 10 years. The main reason BEROOTED was set up, is because we wanted to inspire the new generation of young British people. We felt that it was our duty as British people to unite those young people today. The beautiful thing about BROOTED is its diversity of different cultures from all over the world, and what unite us is that we are all British and proud. We want to celebrate what it means to be British today and inspire the new British blood to take stand and unite with each other. BEROOTED is celebrating its first birthday this year. Throughout the past year, young people between the ages of 14 - 32 years, have been running, organising and performing at its events. Last year we helped a group of young people to set their own charity called Reason, which is successfully run by Derek Benson aka Mix who is a Music Producer and Sound Engineer. Derek has worked with young people for over six years and says he never fails to be inspired by the younger generation’s determination to succeed and help this country become a better aND safer place for all. Having children himself, Derek understands the importance of inspiration and creative role models which is behind his decision to set up 'Reason'. BEROOTED motto is ‘Nurture the future’………
