The SWITCH Community

Funded by the National Lottery’s Reaching Communities Fund, and running from 2018 – 2025, the SWITCH Project (Society Working Intergenerationally Towards Community Harmony), has been Niburu London’s longest running project.

Niburu London is proud to have partnered with the National Lottery to deliver a wide range of session and events to the local community. In addition to bringing opportunities to groups and individuals within the community, the National Lottery’s generous support has enabled Niburu London to grow as an organisation.

SWITCH offered a wide diversity of project and events from School podcasts to Health & Wellbeing Sessions, Carnival Parties to Shared Group Sessions.

The first video below, filmed in 2019, shares the wide variety of events provided by SWITCH and introduces members of Niburu Media’s team. Further videos share examples of projects and events, current and historic, under the SWITCH banner.

Creative Writing

Writing in the Park

The One to One / MHA Creative Writing Project took the session to Enfield Town Park, enjoying an afternoon’s creativity in summer sunshine and natural surroundings.

All the Fun of the Fair!

Members of MHA North London enjoyed a Summer Carnival. The afternoon began with some carnival arts and crafts and participants made their very own masks, adorned with feathers and Jewells. A lovely lunch was then enjoyed, followed by a group quiz with questions based on all things summer! (Do you know how much the percentage of water is in a watermelon?!) After the quiz, prizes were given to the 3 best dressed guests, followed by a lovely disco with music provided by MHA friend Victor. It was a lovely afternoon filled with fun, feathers and food!
