For as long as I can remember there has been a creative longing inside me; an unceasing desire to be creative, produce and make something.

150 years ago an American banker living in London decided he wanted to use his skills, contacts and resources to tackle the deep poverty he saw around him.

His name was George Peabody, and the foundation he started still provides housing and opportunities for thousands of Londoners each year, and pioneered social housing across the UK.

Hidden between the stairwells and sirens of the Myatt's Field Estate are former gang members living lives under very different circumstances. They have turned their backs on the lifestyles they used to live, forsaking crime, violence and their formidable reputations for new lives as devout Christians.
