A note to the local community: Incident on Friday the 6th of March on Champion Hill estate.


On Friday the 6th of March 2 local young people were assaulted on the Champion Hill estate. Following the assault they ran into the Dog kennel Hill Adventure Playground for help and the staff called the Police & the Ambulance.


We would like to clarify that this did not happen at the Adventure Playground.


The incident involved other young people who were not from this area. The local young people involved came to us afterwards as they feel safe, secure & protected here.


We administered first aid, closed the playground to keep them safe inside before they were taken to hospital.


The safety of all children and young people that attend the playground is our top priority at all times.


However, once the young people leave the site they are outside of our control and sometimes they do find themselves in difficult situations.


All staff are employed as play workers but view their role as so much more than this. We all care, love & are concerned for the well being of our young people and when incidents such as this arise it is deeply saddening for everyone.


We feel that this highlights even more the need for the Adventure Playground within the local community and are constantly looking at ways we can be more involved.


Below are some of the actions we are planning to put in place:


? A new purpose built building

? Outside gym facilities-not only open to the young people but all local residents at particular times. (Funding has already be secured on this)

? Creative workshops specifically working with the young women to empower them, increasing confidence, improving perceptions of their body image etc

? A youth night specifically for the older kids


We really appreciate & need support from local people & businesses (from doing a sponsored run, donating funds,doing a funding application, providing a workshop etc)if this is something you feel you want to be a part please contact Patrick or Kate on [email protected]

Thanks for that very reassuring post. You guys do great things and I know the wonderful relationships you have with all the kids who go to the playground. Really pleased that you were there to help the boys and I hope they are doing well.
glad to hear that the boys are fine - we get over to the play ground occasionally as we don't live locally but when we have visited our kids are always made welcome and enjoy themselves thoroughly. Looking forward to all your new plans taking shape kind regards

Thank you lovelies.We are always happy to hear feedback & look at areas we can improve, so hearing such awesome words puts a big smile on our faces.


Also wanted to say a massive thank you to those who do show us love and support and to the mummies that helped out & supported the staff team and the young boys on Friday. x

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
