On Saturday 1 October 2011, perhaps the most famous residence in the UK opened its doors to us to allow us to film for somewhereto_, an Olympic-funded project run by our lovely clients Livity.

Britain’s most famous front door was unlocked to young people as part of Olympic legacy project somewhereto_.  10 young people looking for somewhere to free run, perform spoken word and practice boxing were given free rein to use Number 10 Downing Street as a space to showcase their passions – and we were there to capture it in film.

Please watch the film on somewhereto_’s YouTube channel.

The incredible day was captured by Somethin’ Else’s cameras.  Callum Harris (17) and Jack Curtis (20) from Accrington Stanley alongside Chima Akenzua (22) and Karol Michta (17) from London leaped over the grand staircase, past faces of Prime Ministers new and old, before back flipping through the hallway out to the garden. Boxers Wesley Washington (17) and Ryan Hutchings (16) from Royston made the most of the Pillared State Drawing Room’s open space, while Rubix Collective – Bridget Minamore (19), Deanna Rodger (22), Sean Mahoney (23) and Ayesha Badat (17) from London – bounced inspiring words across the State Dining Room.

The film was shown to the Prime Minister, who said “somewhereto__ is a fantastic initiative to help young people find the space they need to develop their passions. This is a great example of the Big Society – connecting businesses that have space they can spare with people in their community who have a dream they can use it for.

“If 10 Downing Street can open its doors to something as adventurous as free running I hope it will inspire other people to see what their building could be used for.”

Since having seen the film, the Prime Minister has decided to play it to the Conservative party conference ahead of his address today at 2.30pm.
