In this special episode, Jake Humphrey visits Future Youth Zone in Dagenham, part of the OnSide network, where he sits down with Professor Green for one of his most personal conversations yet.
Reflecting on his difficult childhood, Professor Green reveals how youth clubs gave him a sense of belonging when he needed it most and why spaces like this can change the course of a young person's life.
Jake also speaks to Jamie Masraff, Chief Executive of OnSide, about the life-changing work being done to support over 60,000 young people every year, and why funding raised by Postcode Lottery players is so vital in helping create more Youth Zones, giving young people access to trusted adults, opportunities and safe places to belong.
Jake also meets Lily and Olivia, two inspiring young members whose stories bring that impact to life, and youth worker Stephanie, who explains why simply being heard can change a young person's future. Together, their conversations highlight why youth clubs are more than just places to spend time - they're places where young people can find confidence, connection and the chance to thrive.
