We’re looking for young voices from Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark, to be part of our upcoming podcast, in collaboration with All Things Mental Health - a chart-topping mental health podcast, focusing on young minds and students.

The new series invites young people to explore Partisan’s 4 R’s - Relationships, Repair, Regenerate and Redistribute.

What’s the podcast all about?

For this podcast, we want young people to dig into Partisan’s four R’s.

We know the world wasn’t built for fairness—it was built on systems that reinforce inequality.*

At Partisan, we want to work with others to change that.

We’ve created four pillars to help us break away from harmful systems, to create something fairer, kinder, more inclusive, and built to last. Read up on them below!

We’re always listening, learning and putting these pillars into action, for the communities we serve.

What do the 4 R’s mean to you?
How do they show up in your lives?

It’s your turn to respond.

*For example, systems such as white supremacy, Homophobia, Patriarchy, Capitalism, Islamophobia and other continuing legacies of oppression.

  • Relationships are not always even, equal or easy to be in.

    At Partisan, we understand relationships take time to nurture, and connect many complicated things together. We also believe they are at the centre of everything.

    That’s why we encourage investment into them, slowing down when it matters, listening, and building trust with young people and other organisations, before diving into anything.

    Conflict happens in relationships, but we invest in repair rather than walking away.

  • Marginalised communities have faced harm and trauma for generations. 

    Healing isn’t a quick fix—it’s a commitment. We want to redefine what repair looks like by learning from the communities we work with, and building real, long-term solutions.

    We learn from our communities to understand how they want to live; what changes they want to see, and, together, use their knowledge to create a change that comes from within.

    That's how we envision undoing systems that have been put in place to suppress our communities.
