Diane Shrouder-Johnson
Founder & Director of Serene One Ltd
Community Consultant
I am a Community Consultant, connecting local institutions with grassroots communities. I develop intergenerational events, music programmes and wellbeing initiatives that bring people together. My work also includes individual advocacy and practical guidance for councils, faith groups and community organisations, tailored to each agreed project.
Planning an event, developing a community project or considering your next steps? You are welcome to enquire. I consider each request individually to decide whether I am able to undertake the work and whether the service is suitable.
Please join me as we explore connection, creativity, wellbeing and community.

Chapter 1 of 5 · Contents & Services
Follow a branch of my story, or begin with the chapter that speaks to you.
Born in Brent, I bring longstanding community experience and a commitment to intergenerational connection. My work spans events, guided walks, music, arts, history and heritage, health and wellbeing, education and environmental awareness. I work with people of different ages and backgrounds, alongside community groups, organisations and individuals, in Brent and beyond.
Through Serene One, I help individuals communicate their needs and find relevant services, and work with groups and organisations to develop events, share information and connect communities. Some services can be offered virtually. In-person arrangements in London or further afield are discussed individually, taking account of distance, availability and the service requested.
My approach combines listening and mutual respect with conversation, music, the arts and shared heritage. My late mother lived with vascular dementia, making dementia awareness and the experiences of carers especially close to my heart. My experience also includes victim support work; I bring that experience to listening and signposting within clear boundaries.

My work includes activities for different age groups and gatherings that connect generations. Walks, events and community projects can be shaped around the people taking part. Music, the arts, speaking and shared heritage offer ways to participate, exchange experiences and build community relationships.
During lockdown, I helped the Jason Roberts Foundation put together virtual exercise activities for older people. This work offered a way to participate in activity and maintain community connection when gathering in person was restricted.
Having cared for my late mother, who lived with vascular dementia, I understand why opportunities for connection and relevant information matter to people living with dementia and their carers.
In November 2023, I helped promote dementia-friendly activities at the Jason Roberts Foundation. My email to community contacts announced weekly activities beginning on 15 November 2023, including information for carers and others interested in dementia awareness.
These activities for older people and carers are one strand of my wider work across generations. They draw on lived experience and community connection. The audience for each walk, event or project is agreed individually.
From lived experience to practical action: selected moments that have shaped how I work with people and organisations.
My experiences as a carer inspired me to found Community Reach Out around February 2018. The first Reach Out Community Day took place at St Mary’s Parish Centre on 12 May 2018, bringing people and practical community connections together.
Working as part of the team delivering Jamaican High Commissioner Seth George Ramocan’s visit to Brent on 4 April 2019, connecting civic, cultural, business and faith settings.
An administrator and Care Team member with Dudden Hill Mutual Aid, contributing to practical community connections during lockdown.

International Reggae Day is celebrated globally on 1 July. Founded by Andrea Davis and launched in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1994, it connects communities around Jamaican music, creativity and cultural legacy. In 2026, the celebration marked 32 years.
Harlesden’s Reggae Tree was planted on 1 July 2018, marking Brent’s reggae heritage and the day’s wider tree-planting message. Its eighth anniversary in 2026 brought music, performances, talks and community connection together with environmental awareness.
I organised this panel discussion as part of the 2025 International Reggae Day programme and took part in the conversation. Hosted by JV — The Real Soul Connection, it brought people together to share perspectives on reggae music, heritage and legacy.

22 June 2025 · Learie Constantine Centre
A community celebration I helped bring together, honouring the Windrush generation through music, shared meals and connections across generations.
26 April 1926 – 10 March 2025 · A Windrush pioneer’s centenary
John Richards was a friend of my late father, Arthur Shrouder. Our connection makes his story part of my own family’s memories, as well as our shared history. When John departed Mother Earth in March 2025, I helped organise his funeral. It was a privilege to play a part in honouring his life.
Born in Jamaica, John arrived at Tilbury aboard the Empire Windrush on 22 June 1948. After staying at the Clapham South Deep Shelter, he built a life in Britain, working for British Railways for four decades. A keen cricketer and a founding member of the Learie Constantine West Indian Association, he contributed to community life and challenged racial injustice.
On 22 June 2022, John and fellow Windrush pioneer Alford Gardner unveiled the National Windrush Monument at London Waterloo Station. Created by Jamaican sculptor Basil Watson, it honours the Windrush generation and their lasting contribution to Britain.
“It was £28 well spent.”
— John Richards, reflecting on his passage to Britain, in an interview with Angela Cobbinah, 2022.
John features on the right of the famous black-and-white photograph taken in 1948, alongside John Hazel and Harold Wilmot. View the historic photograph · Douglas Miller / Getty Images ↗
Continuing his legacy · Friday 30 October 2026
I will be involved in a talk remembering John at Brent Council’s Black History Month celebration, Honouring Our Communities, at Brent Civic Centre.

Discuss Community Connections →Community giving takes many forms: collecting food, sharing information and connecting people with practical resources.
This photograph captures my involvement in a Tesco food collection, encouraging donations for people in need.
I founded Community Reach Out around February 2018, while caring for my family. Diana Ross’s “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” inspired its name and my wish to bring people together through kindness and understanding. The first event took place on 12 May 2018 at St Mary’s Parish Centre, connecting community members with information and services.
On 13 April 2025, I brought together a community gathering with Willesden Seventh-day Adventist Church and Nine Health & Fitness. Nine led the Spring Walk for Life from the church, followed by food, music, health checks, information and activities.
Community Reach Out also brings people together to share food and essential items. These photographs show us connecting with people in the community and sharing practical resources.
Recent gatherings with Rise Together Alliance have brought community organisations, information and conversation into Harlesden’s outdoor spaces. People can talk with us, ask questions and find out about relevant services.
Community Reach Out is the community giving strand of Serene One. Music, DJs, stalls, guest speakers, the arts and wellbeing information offer different ways to take part across generations. It relies on voluntary collaboration and shared contributions; there is no budget to pay contributors. Roles and arrangements are discussed in advance.

We can discuss its purpose, location, route, participants and any contributors, and agree the arrangements and fee. Harlesden’s Reggae Tree is one example of how a walk can connect music, heritage and the environment.
I created and organised the Roots Rock Reggae Walk for International Reggae Day, bringing people together through local music history, heritage and community connection. Historian Mandingo led the 2025 walk, sharing knowledge along the route.

Discuss a Collaboration ↗I attended the planting of Harlesden’s Reggae Tree on 1 July 2018, shortly after my husband passed away that May. Although reggae was already part of my cultural knowledge and connection, that day introduced me to International Reggae Day.
I was appointed Reggae Tree Ambassador for Harlesden in 2021. Over the years, community performances, talks and shared gatherings have connected music and heritage with people’s stories. The tree also keeps the environmental message visible: caring for trees, encouraging planting and thinking about the legacy we leave.
On 1 July 2026, we marked eight years of the tree and 32 years of International Reggae Day.

The Walk of Music features twelve paving stones honouring artists, bands, record labels, record shops and music pioneers connected to Harlesden’s reggae history. The Cimarons’ stone recognises the band’s pioneering contribution to British reggae.
These lasting markers help people discover the history behind the music and recognise its legacy across generations.
