Youth Club Trip to see Dirty Dancing
Dragon Hall Youth Club are part of the ‘Time of Your Life Dance Academy’ and receive street dance training by Dancers from Sadlers Wells, funded by London Youth. As a treat the young people were invited to see the hit show ‘Dirty Dancing’ for free!

Showing at the Aldwich Theatre our young people met up with other groups who are also part of the programme. For some this was the first time they had been into a theatre to see a show. Many of the young people who attend the Dragon Hall Youth Club live in the Covent Garden and Holborn area – a very short walk to the West End and numerous theatres – however most had never been to see a West End show.

They all loved ‘Dirty Dancing’ and had a fantastic time – here are a few pictures of the trip…

Keyfund launch at Dragon Hall

On Friday 6th Nov, Dragon Hall hosted the official launch of the Keyfund in association with London Youth. This fund put the control of young people’s services directly in their own hands. The event was sold out, attended by a wide range of people including no less than five London Mayors. 11 young people from Dragon Hall presented 3 funding ideas to a panel of Keyfund facilitators.

The Keyfund helps groups of young people recognise and develop transferable skills whilst at the same time accessing up to £3,750 to spend on activities that they want to do.

This presentation was the culmination of weeks of thought, planning, research, presentation and development of their ideas.
They presented their requests for funding, supported by detailed research, costings and evidence of their own learning during the process. The skills they identified using included problem solving, negotiation, communication, planning and settling disagreements.

The young people were successful in their bids to fund a football tournament, a playstation 3 console plus games and a trip to the cinema plus dinner.
