Belper`s  DROP - INN youngest's gain recognition
At the Derbyshire Young Achievers awards night in
December 2007

A recent Derbyshire County Council  project to to promote images of young people has done just that --
After hearing about the county council`s  “This is me” campaign which aims to challenge negative stereotypes
of young people, six  14  to  16 year old members --  KELLY  KIRKHAM, LEIGH SCOTT, NICK HAYNES, RYAN BROWN, ALEX COLLIER, and DAN LLOYD  -- learnt how  to street dance and rap in beat box style and under the name ‘Break Boxers’ have since performed at schools clubs and county hall in Matlock.
Which resulted in them being nominated for a Derbyshire Young Achievers Award 2007
---------------------------------------------------
The Centre , run by Laura Taylor, is going from strength to strength and now  runs daytime courses in conjunction  with Belper  School including first aid, car maintenance and child care . It also provides a safe environment for pupils who have been bullied or who have problems at school.
