🌈 What does it take to bring a community together in the face of division? In this heartfelt episode of The Martin Talk Show, host Martin Colton sits down with two of Harlow’s inspiring community heroes — Rev’d Jokey Poyntz, Team Vicar & Missioner at The Church of England, and Cllr James Griggs, Leader of the Harlow Labour Party — to explore the story behind “Flags & Community.” 💬✨

This moving conversation dives deep into unity, compassion, and the power of action when people come together for a shared cause. Following reports of racial abuse and division in Harlow, Rev’d Jokey and Cllr Griggs launched the Community Colours Project at St Paul’s Church — a symbol of solidarity and hope. 🌍 Residents were invited to tie multicoloured ribbons on a peace wall, each one representing love, support, and belonging. 💖

Recorded as part of the Amplify Harlow Series, this episode shines a light on the everyday heroes who are working tirelessly to make Harlow a more inclusive, welcoming place for everyone. Whether you’re an artist, activist, or someone passionate about building bridges in your own community, this conversation will inspire you to take action — and believe in the power of people coming together. 💪🏽🎙️

🎧 Tune in now to hear how faith, leadership, and creativity intersect in a story of unity that Harlow — and the world — needs to hear.
