Spotlight
JUSTIN FINLAYSON.
Justin Finlayson is founder and CEO of charity United Borders. United Borders was formed in the summer of 2017 as a response to the murder of University student James Owusu. An ongoing feud between two warring estates claimed the life of James. This negative action caused a positive reaction and forced Justin to find an alternative way. 'Solutions was the only way forward, the problems were apparent for everyone within both areas to see but the solutions were nowhere near as visible, this is where I channelled my focus.’
With his neighbourhood still reeling from the fallout of James' death, Justin used his connections within the bus industry to buy a bus, convert it into a learning hub and enlisted his childhood friend; come, music producer, M.O to run music production classes from the bus. Justin then set about the impossible and engaged young people on both sides of the divide, some had negative associations and others just wanted to see an end to endless violence.
