Organisation: Ealing Council, Corporate Parent Committee (CPC)
Issue: Young people wanted improvements to a drop-in centre
The situation: A drop-in centre was established initially to provide educational support. Young people wanted improvements to this service. In particular they wanted computers, purpose-built spaces and continued support.
"We've been waiting for a new centre now for four years, we've had issues with planning permission that have taken two years to resolve. So we keep bringing it back to the Corporate Parent Committee."
"We wanted computers that work, generally better equipment, half the computers don't work and the printers don't work. An internet cafe so you can do your work and use them anytime during the day. We want the education room to carry on and a hall for dance and other activities."
