Gritty Subz headlined this 'safe rave'
which attracted 160 young people.

It was the busiest 'Safe Rave' we have ever done, and it was all promoted and organised by resident Dj Patchwerk (a former young member of The Drop Inn).

Earth Hour 2013

Earth hour is an hour were you turn off all electrical appliances for an hour to bring awareness to global warming and the environment.

To celebrate and bring awareness in our own way we decided to meet at our youth centre.

We sat just in candle light for an hour with Jasper (one of our volunteers) running a drum circle workshop, and performing a candle lit acoustic guitar session.

It was intimate and fun, but it also made us appreciate time with out electricity and gave us time to reflect on global warming and the environment.
