Why a podcast about Tooting?

A combination of factors: engaging more with Tooting during lockdown; wanting my young daughter to understand the importance of community; and on a whim signing up for a podcasting course led to the idea to start a podcast to highlight the amazing work that individuals and groups do to support the Tooting community. It gave me a reason to step out of my comfort zone and from my very first email, I have never looked back. I have found so much inspiration, empathy and positivity across the streets of Tooting - it’s there in abundance.
