Such a beloved institution - one that many of our previous guests have mentioned as part of their own story. It only really occurred to me as I was listening to Deborah again about the tradition of collecting oral histories that this podcast is kind of that, too - collecting community voices to paint a picture of Tottenham / Haringey during this particular period in time. Obviously a small blip once you listen to the wide scope Bruce Castle covers. Also on a side note - as a teacher I know hardworking people when I see them and Deborah is pretty much wonder woman, she is putting so much into this most special building in Haringey, a true hero.their website: https://www.brucecastle.org/the Friends of Bruce Castle: https://www.friendsofbrucecastle.org.uk/ their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brucecastlemuseum/ .....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody

When I first moved to Tottenham, I was actually a runner, I was preparing a 10k and that's when I first discovered Lordship Rec - 11 years ago. I remember experiencing some stunning sunsets. On the other hand, one of my friends who grew up next to the park, remembers watching some more unsavoury events unfolding. Everybody has a story and connection to Tottenham's parks so it was with great excitement that I spoke with Dave about the transformation that the Friends of Lordship Rec managed to achieve over the last twenty years.their website: https://lordshiprec.org.uk/their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/307036912739/Lordship Hub Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lordshiphub_n17/their Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@lordshiprecEpisode on Countryfile about Lordship Rec (also featuring Dave and many other local legends): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjvb9MxxDrw&t=258s.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody

Putting the spotlight on another great organisation active in our area - All People All Places, a charity set up to tackle homelessness and preventing homelessness in Haringey and later Enfield. Such an important topic at the moment. I talk to Grace about the history of the organisation, the challenges and successes especially over recent years and how you can get involved as volunteers.

"Broadwater Farm" has become shorthand for many people particularly outside of Tottenham for something very different to most people who actually live there or nearby. I came across Wendy because of an event where she projected a film she had created about the estate and the people living there onto one of the blocks themselves - I absolutely love stuff like this.The project is quite a few years back but I found it really interesting finding out how Wendy developed it and eventually put on the event. The river project sounds so amazing, too.You can find the films on Wendy's website:https://www.wendycharlton.net/sa61-home.htmlWendy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendyanncharlton/Inga's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingabystram/.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody

I just love the great diversity of groups and initiatives who strive to make Haringey a  more welcoming and kinder place and Pram Depot has been doing this work for a very long time. It was a joy to have this chat with Oonagh and Karen about the beginnings of the project, the pivoting during the pandemic, current challenges and future plans.Pram Depot Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pramdepot/Pram Depot Website: https://pramdepot.com/.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody

Getting to hear steel pan music in the summer is just one of the wonderful side effects of living near a park and a primary school in Tottenham. I am so chuffed that I finally managed to get two players from the local orchestra to tell me all about the history and in and outs of steel pan music!

I feel like Sean is doing visually what I try doing through audio - capturing a community at a certain time during a transition. I am a big photography fan and came across Sean's photos on Instagram, I like both his urban landscapes and gentle portraits. What I always appreciate is nuance and Sean was really mindful when talking about capturing the changes around him. You can also really hear the joy about connecting with people on the street when he retells these stories.

We have our first foodie (as in someone making it, we had some great top tip food recommendations over the years). I think what struck me most during the interview with Tanya is how intentional and mindful she is in everything she does. I like how she talks about putting the team together, getting the produce, giving back to the community and connecting to nature.Go check out her Instagram, it is going to make you hungry though.Tanya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neozentee/Eat Genisis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatgenesis/Go Grow with Love Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gogrowwithlove/.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBodyIf you fancy supporting my hobby - buy me a coffee :)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anybodyeveI

I hope after listening to the episode you appreciate my little word play. Now look at us - the third sports episode this year 2023 is bringing all the sports people out! Had a great chat with Paul and it really makes you appreciate the dedication of so many adults when supporting the young generation to really fulfil their sporting ambitions. I hope that we will get that standout Tottenham swimmer to make us all proud and bring some money for this sport.Haringey Aquatics website: https://uk.teamunify.com/team/HA/page/homeHaringey Aquatics Insta (not up to date):  https://www.instagram.com/haringeyaquatics/Haringey Aquatics twitter (very active): https://twitter.com/teamharingey......................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBodyIf you fancy supporting my hobby - buy me a coffee :)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anybodyeveI

In this episode I am talking to Alma about her journey (so far) to creating a studio and a team of women to support other women on their own fitness journeys. I really like her holistic approach and understanding the specific needs of women, many lessons that she had to learn the hard way.

Today I am talking to Donny who opened his picture frame shop in the Blue House Yard pretty much two years ago. We talk about his path into the profession, why people don't just go to Wilko and the community spirit in the Blue House Yard.

It is the season of the strikes so as a striking teacher I got to interview Conall from the Haringey branch of the London Renters Union. I am really happy about the coordination of the different unions as teachers, nurses, posties, rail workers are all incredibly affected by housing especially in London. I hope you find this interesting and useful even if you managed the almost impossible these days - home ownership.

I am talking with Charlie Brown from 2TR (two touch rulz) Football who runs a variety of community activities around football in Haringey and other London boroughs, especially on inner city London estates.We talk about how they create work experience and work opportunities for some of the teenagers, what transferable skills they can acquire, flying out to Egypt to represent England in the SATUC World Cup (check out the youtube clip), starting a London Estates Cup and what Charlie hopes to achieve in the next few years. Another wonderful example of community spirit and great humans amongst us!Their website https://www.2trfootball.com/Youtube clip from the SATUC World Cup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcnWr_WBuggTheir Instagram https://www.instagram.com/2trfootball/Their Twitter https://twitter.com/2TRFootball.......................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBodyIf you fancy supporting my hobby - buy me a coffee :)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anybodyeveI

Really enjoyed this catch up with Jimmy to reflect about the studios now 17 years in Tottenham Hale. The studio really shows the community vibe that we often pride ourselves with here in Tottenham. Especially his answer to my question about their highlights ...

Today is International Migrant Day - what a perfect release date for my conversation with Lara Parmiani from the theatre company Legal Aliens who are working right here in Tottenham with migrants and refugees. I really like the thinking behind the workshops for migrants to empower them to use their presence and voice. I also appreciate how self reflective and critical Lara is about their first efforts.

Second episode in a row of women breaking the mould and working in male dominated fields. Karen is extra special as the only female owner of a motorcycle garage in the UK. She comes from a long lineage of Tottenham residents and like me loves everything about our neighbourhood. You know me, I love a story of the creation of a new business and the small triumphs and challenges.

Hanna is so much more than an artist - I was hoping she would give me a snappy term but it doesn't seem this easy. Hanna's passion and enthusiasm for her art and who can make and access art is really palpable.

Today I am talking to another local author - Stephen, a veteran primary school teacher so obviously I couldn't resist a bit of teacher talk. His background in primary school education is obviously a bit different but it is interesting how he notices patterns that we then see in secondary schools. I used to always write as a teenager and throughout adulthood shifting through different genres so I do feel very inspired by Stephen to continue working on your craft and to invite feedback from a writing group - watch this space!Stephen's website: https://stephenfitzsimons.com/Stephen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephen_fitzsimons_author/The All Good Bookshop: https://allgoodbookshop.co.uk/events (on the events page, so much interesting stuff going on!).......................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBodyIf you fancy supporting my hobby - buy me a coffee :)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anybodyeveI
