WE ARE DRAPER TOGETHER

At Draper Together, we're more than just a charity – we're a vibrant community hub dedicated to fostering connections and empowerment in the heart of Elephant and Castle, London SE1. Our mission is simple yet profound: to cultivate a strong and inclusive community where every individual feels valued and supported.

What sets us apart is our commitment to action. Through a diverse range of activities and initiatives, we're actively working to address the unique needs of our neighbourhood:

Nourishing Connections: Our food hub offers a place for locals to talk about their day, learn how to cook, meet new people and stay warm in the colder months. We offer nutritious meals for free to locals through our partnerships with FareShare, Nando's, Neighbourly and other charities.

Supporting Education: Education is the key to unlocking endless possibilities. That's why we offer educational support to children and families, providing assistance with homework and fostering a lifelong love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom.

Cultivating Creativity: Unleash your imagination at our arts and crafts workshops! Draper Together has been hosting various arts, music and theatre workshops for years. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, our creative spaces are open to all. Join us as we explore new mediums, express ourselves, and build community through the power of art.
