In collaboration with Burgess Sports, a local charity established in 2011, this work highlights the agency of young people within the estate and the role of community-led initiatives in fostering social cohesion, resilience, and personal development. Through sports and holistic support programmes, Burgess Sports offers a critical resource within the community, creating a safe, supportive environment for local children. The charity’s initiatives—ranging from its holiday multisport camps to family support programmes like “Kids in the Kitchen”—not only meet immediate recreational and nutritional needs but also serve as a conduit for broader socio-emotional support and community empowerment.
This photographic documentation captures Aylesbury’s community in a way that moves beyond media stereotypes, presenting a nuanced perspective on the impact of community engagement.
