In 2023, Aleksa concluded a year-long peer-research project on behalf of Sounds Like Chaos, and the Albany, in partnership with the Mayor of London, Greater London Authority, and Partnership for Young London. This research explored the question, “Where do young people aged 14-25, living in South London go, when they aren’t at school or at home, and is there a correlation between mental health, and the spaces young people can access?”
This project illustrated the urgent need for more free, accessible, and safe spaces for young people in London, and therefore, Aleksa has since been prioritising her work to ensure that those profound findings do not remain dormant by creating more spaces for our youth.

One of these spaces that Aleksa has established is “Come As You Are”, a youth-takeover running every Tuesday evening during school terms, between 3:30pm and 8pm, at The Albany theatre in Deptford. A free space that offers young people total autonomy, providing them the opportunities to participate in exciting creative workshops, a platform to perform their hearts desires, dive into some arts & crafts, play a diverse range of games, enjoy some snacks and food, or just do nothing by themselves or with friends.
