Draper Together
Draper Together is a charity promoting community cohesion by providing opportunities to the residents of the Draper Estate and their neighbours in Elephant & Castle, utilising the arts and education as an instrument for change. We aim to build a stronger community by acting as a bridge, breaking down social and cultural barriers and tackling inequalities through an open access programme of events and activities delivered at our community hub, Draper Hall. They include Summer and Winter festivals, IT training, the Draper Film & Music Academy for young people, Family Sundays Theatre, Sporting Draper for children and for senior citizens. Draper Together is the culmination of five years of work by a very active Tenants and Residents Association (DRA), transforming into a charity CIO with an associate membership of residents.
