The Evening Standard wrote a feature about the clean up with interviews given by Dragon Hall young people…

“But moments later we bumped into young people who are doing everything they can to send out a more positive image. As I help youth group Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust (aged 12-16) clean up broken glass, they explain why they are here today.

“It’s devastating,” says Sophie, 15. “Young people have been portrayed in such a negative way. I don’t want people looking at me as if I’m a criminal.”

Naomi, 16, another volunteer at Dragon Hall Trust, has been filming interviews all over London, finding out how the riots have affected locals. In Ealing they met Toby Young. Later they plan to take to the streets to speak to young people about their anger and disaffection.

Dragon Hall Trust’s senior youth worker, James Dellow, 38, says, “I guess one of the things we hope comes out of today is the realisation of the idea of the Big Society. What you have here is lots of people who have decided, off their own bats that their community is what’s important to them. It’s about people deciding for themselves – in a very organic way. We’ll have to wait and see if this translates itself into government policy but I’m really hopeful about what young people have shown me today. There’s been a real spirit of unity and togetherness.”

Everywhere the Blitz spirit was in evidence all day.”
