What the parents say about the Dragon Hall Drop In, 10am to 1pm, Thursday and Friday mornings during term time.

“What would we do without Dragon Hall Drop in – essential for the little ones of the area, space, friendly staff and lovely toys. Thank You!”

“This is a great place to come to bring the little ones to the drop in, lots of toys, big space to run around, nice kids to play with, lots of fun activities for them to do. We adults love it too, meeting other people, having a coffee and biscuits, interacting and making friends. It is fantastic!”

“Great facilities and staff, kids had fun cutting and eating fruit“

“We had a lovely time and the place is brilliant” – Saida

“Very well set up and organised, lovely to have the library lady there as well”

” I really like the friendly atmosphere here, Yusro loves coming to drop in and playing with other children”

“Dragon Hall is a really good place for kids to learn and have fun. Wide range of toys and different activities that keep the kids busy and stimulated. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.”

“Lovely spacious and friendly drop in play group. I spent a lot of time searching the web trying to find somewhere to meet with a friend from the other side of London with our two toddlers. Places like this in central London seem few and far between. Great resources for local people and visitors alike.” Rachel

“Keep Dragon Hall open – children need this great space to play and learn. Staff are welcoming, children are stimulated and parents get to relax a little!”

“Drop in sessions like this excellent one are invaluable to new mothers without family nearby and they definately stop mums going to their GP with post natal depression. Please, please keep this group going”

“We love it here and wouldn’t go anywhere else on Fridays”

The Drop In is funded by the London Borough of Camden

The thing that made the trip special was that all the young people came from different social backgrounds and that many of them had never been to a football match before. This was also a unique experience for staff and volunteers at Dragon Hall; it was extremely ambitious to take out three different groups, totalling 25 young people.

It was clear that everyone really enjoyed the experience and we had positive feedback from the young people. This is certainly something that we would do again following the success of the trip.

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.”
