Welcome to UNdamaged goods, a podcast created to give inner-city young people, especially those out of mainstream school a platform to voice their opinions and tell their stories. I'm Ruari and I worked in social services for several years and I am now a brand consultant working within the film, music and arts industries, it’s time to bring my two worlds together.


Through the voice of the young people & my special guests, I hope to support in educating the general public and put right the systemic wrong that’s been created over the years around certain communities and the youth of today. For this first series, I’m in London at the Hackney Boxing Academy.
