Niburu London
Enriching the community through music, media, health &
wellbeing, inter-generational and local heritage projects.
Welcome To Niburu London
Organising community based workshops, sessions and events since 2004, Niburu London is a ‘Not for Profit’ organisation providing a wide range of workshops and events for the Enfield community. We strongly believe that every community member deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. Niburu is dedicated to creating accessible, funded workshops and events that support and uplift members of our local community.
Niburu London is proud to be funded by the National Lottery, the Arts Council England and the RSA Trust
We are grateful to be supported by The National Lottery and The Arts Council England, two of the UK’s leading funding organisations, who share our commitment to community enrichment, arts and wellbeing. The National Lottery has been an invaluable partner for many years, funding a range of Niburu’s community projects, including the SWITCH Project, Niburu’s longest running project, reaching an amazing 7 years.
Summer 2025 introduced Together at the Table, funded by The National Lottery’s Community Fund. Spring 2026 brought the Million Miles & Smiles Project, supported by the National Lottery Million Hours Fund.
The Million Hours Fund is funded by Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and The National Lottery Community Fund, providing additional resources to existing projects, allowing organisation to bring extra support to young people.
Through The Million Hours Fund, Niburu has extended the highly successful R.O.C.K. Project (Raising Our Communities Kids), launched in Spring 2025 and funded by Youth Music. Sessions were expanded, enabling Niburu to reach a greater number of young people.
Following the end of the Youth Music funding in June 2026, Niburu is able to continue these inspiring session with the ongoing support of the Million Hours Fund.
In addition, the Million Hours Fund has greatly expanded Creative Futures, an intergenerational project funded by the RSA Trust.

Our Projects
Although many project themes interlink, below are the six main categories which projects fall under. The SWITCH Project, running since 2018, encompasses many of the themes, and appears separately. Follow the links below for more information and videos.
Exploring community heritage offers an opportunity to relive and share past experiences with a new generation.
Through the mediums of music & media, workshops and events invite an opportunity to learn, create and explore.
Perhaps the most encompassing theme, all events hold an aspect of health & wellbeing. This page shares a range of sessions.
Sessions to uplift and engage, sharing new skills, encouraging self confidence and inspiring imagination.
Weekly health & wellbeing events are available online, allowing engagement for those unable to attend in person.
Funded by the National Lottery, SWITCH (Society Working Intergenerationally Towards Community Harmony), was Niburu’s longest running project.
R.O.C.K!
Funded by Youth Music’s Trailblazer Fund and supported by The National Lottery Million Hours Fund, The R.O.C.K Project is a grassroots programme for children and young people under 25.
Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Cook & Share provides a warm environment for those effected by cancer.

The R.O.C.K. Project!
The Youth Music funding of the hugely successful R.O.C.K. Project came to an end in June 2026. However, activities will be continuing under the Million Hours Fund called “A Million Miles and Smiles Project“
The Million Hours Fund is funded by Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and The National Lottery Community Fund, providing additional resources to existing projects, allowing organisation to bring extra support to young people.
We have been so grateful to the amazing support from Youth Music, which has allowed Niburu to put down even stronger foundations to support young people in our community though the medium of music. We have also strengthened ties with community partners, developing new and exciting partnerships throughout the project.
We are excited to see where these community connections may lead, and will keep you informed of new developments.

What People Say About Niburu
Niburu London has transformed my perspective on learning. The courses are engaging, and the instructors are truly experts in their fields.
– Emily Thompson
Thanks Colin, it has been most instructive and enjoyable with a good bunch of people.
– Chris Rush
What a fascinating exhibition. I have had a great morning learning about Ponders End.
Even though I was born in the area in the 1960’s and thought I knew a bit about its history, I was amazed by the new facts and personal histories and the many photos and videos. Niburu have done a fantastic job in bringing together an exhibition of previously unconnected facts and capturing personal memories before they are lost to posterity. I wish them every success in continuing this work.
– Bill Cardoza.
Niburu is brilliant, they want to give people the skills that will help them in the future.
– Laurence Wegner, SWITCH Volunteer, 2020

– Lawrence Desouza Headteacher, Meridian Primary School
Sorry I missed you today and tanks for your time and the work with the children. a caught a few of them today and they absolutely loved it – thank you! 😊
– Lauwrence Desuza – Headteacher, Meridian Primary School
Hi Colin
Do you realise how much you have helped these young people?
I have shared the picture I have attached of Keelam with my colleagues at college and they have said that he never smiles and they are shocked that he has displayed this characteristic.
So this is why I keep encouraging and ‘pushing them’ to fulfil their full potential.
I know you will understand this remit as someone who appreciates the humanistic approach to education.
So I am looking forward to seeing them blossom and gain qualifications on your course.
Also, I have noticed that your material says that the course is 10 sessions at 2-hours each –so that means we didn’t spot my mistake of 5 weeks at 2-hours each.
This means the sessions will finish on Thursday, 1st Feb 2017.
Just think of the value being created. AMAZING!!!.
Thank you for everything.
– Thea Charles, Tutor (North East London College) R.A.P. (Raising Aspirations Project) funded by Youth Music
