Carl Chinn sits down in conversation with Kynton Swingle, a youth and community worker who grew up around Fox Hollies in Acocks Green and now helps run Fox Hollies Forum as Community Development Manager of the Fox Hollies Community Association.
Kynton talks about a family steeped in community work, a summer at Camp America, the university lecturer who changed his direction, and building youth work in a neighbourhood that had none. He also reflects on class, confidence and what Pride in Place could mean for the Gospel and Pitmaston estates.
