This is their story.

The Green Room: A place to Belong
February 2025 18min
In this episode, Phillip Ullmann sits down with Richard Allen to explore how The Green House has become a beacon of hope — a shining example of what’s possible when a community refuses to give up on its own. The Green House isn’t your typical school. It’s a safe space for young people who’ve been left behind — by the system, by circumstance, or by a world that didn’t know where they fit.

More than Community
February 2025 13min
In this episode, Phillip Ullmann sits down with pub owner Will Calvert to explore how The Swan has transformed into far more than just a local pub. With rising costs and over 40 pubs closing every month in the UK, The Swan stands out as a shining example of what’s possible when communities come together. From hosting local clubs and grassroots initiatives to welcoming people from all walks of life, The Swan has become a true community hub — a space that belongs to everyone, where profit takes a backseat to purpose.
