**Foreword**
This year has been transformative for United
Borders.
As CEO of United Borders, I am proud of what we
achieved in 2024.
We forged new partnerships and gained
recognition at the highest levels.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, visited our
project and saw first-hand how we use music to
unite young people.
We joined the I AM Brent "My Ends" initiative,
partnering with the Mayor's Violence Reduction
Unit to expand our reach. We also hosted a youth
legal rights event where young people used music
to share their message about their rights.
These milestones were among the highlights of a
busy year. Every day, our team worked with
passion to change lives. As a result, more young
people are finding hope and community instead
of turning to violence.
I want to thank our staff, volunteers, partners,
and supporters for their dedication and belief in
our mission.
Together, we are reducing youth violence and
creating opportunities for young people to thrive.
Justin Finlayson
Founder and CEO, United Borders
**Objectives and Activities**
United Borders exists to reduce youth violence
and foster unity among young people from
different areas.
Our mission is to unite young people through
creativity, music, and mentorship.
We provide a range of activities to achieve this
goal:
�
A mobile music studio (a converted bus)
that brings music production workshops to
different neighbourhoods.
�
Music mentoring programmes that build
skills, confidence, and positive peer
relationships.
�
Creative and personal development
workshops, including art, self-defence,
sports, and therapy sessions.
