Drew Dallen's Personal Statement and Resignation letter

Drew Dallen
Drew Dallen

I am an artist, social worker and global citizen. I have worked with young people all my life, they are our future. I’ve been involved with community developments and many social projects on a voluntary basis.

I moved to Burngreave 15 years ago as a refugee from London! I withdrew from the community stage when New Deal came and have watched a once strong community be systematically destroyed.

I am a spiritual man attempting to understand the divides of religion ethnicity, nationality, gender etc. We are all brothers and sisters and connected. We are all rich or poor but if the planet dies the poor will suffer most and die first.

I wish to think global and act local.

We neglect our youth and mistreat asylum seekers. I am very concerned that there doesn’t seem to be a plan for our destroyed community once BNDfC finish in three years. They go, we’re left with it.
