Loyle Carner X GOMA

Having grown up with ADHD and dyslexia, Mercury-nominated rapper Loyle Carner (Ben Coyle-Larner) knows the challenges that face kids in the same position when going through school. For Ben, prescribed drugs made him feel terrible but he found solace in physical activities such as football and cooking which he described as being all-encompassing. HIs love of food and desire to help kids with ADHD led to him setting up a cooking school in collaboration with social enterprise GOMA. Anyone who is aged between 14 and 16 and has ADHD can sign up to attend the classes where Ben teaches the kids to cook healthy recipes and find an outlet for their energy and creativity. While many people in influential positions strive to give something back we love that Ben takes such a hands on approach, helping to change the lives of young Londoners who might otherwise not have many other places to turn.
