#2522016-04-26 22:41I have visited the drum on many occasions over the many years it has been open. It has given young people the opportunity to showcase and nut ure their talent. |

#2532016-04-27 15:05I signed this petition because I recognise that if the concept of the Drum is allowed to die then everything that I have worked for over the past thirty-five years will, in fact, die with it. However, I believe that the Drum needs s radical change in its approach to creating and delivering a quality and effective programme of arts and culture. |

#2552016-05-03 12:55Black Art Matters - The Drum, serves the whole of Birmingham Community; without community projects like the Drum; there will be no platform or voice for Black Art. |

#2562016-05-05 07:54Look at the bigger picture please, keep it open so our kids will have a place to socialise and learn. |

#2572016-05-07 20:53I really believe the drum is needed in the community for young people's to go . My daughter goes to drama and have been apart of YGB . She will be lost when it closes. It is a value part of the community and I pray funding comes from somewhere. |

#2592016-05-10 14:10I have known the Drum Theatre Company for many years and they provide an avenue into the arts for many youngsters and this is vital service for their community. |

#2602016-05-10 14:36The arts are incredibly important and I think making cuts to them is unnecessary when we could cut down on non-essential spending elsewhere. |

#2612016-05-10 16:31Visited the drum for a comedy event. Such a wonderful community place that does so much good within the community and welcoming people from outside the local area. |

#2632016-05-11 07:29The BME community needs a cultural venue, especially in a major city like Birmingham. Birmingham will be a 'cultural desert' without the 'Drum' |
Guest |
#2642016-05-11 14:52Because the Drum is a positive provider of the Arts for local people and it will be a great loss to the community |

#2662016-05-24 11:51The drum has been a very well known venue for events and has helped many young people such as myself to develop confidence in many key areas in my life. Their friendliness and approachability makes them stand out from all the other places that I have come across. |

#2672016-05-27 06:03The Drum was born out of the vision of ethnic minorities and the well needed City Challenge funding designed to support urban priority areas. I know, I was there at the beginning. Aston and Newtown may never survive the loss! |
Guest |
#2682016-06-02 07:21This is the only venue which deals with black and ethic arts, music, debates etc in our community. What and where do we go now? |

#2692016-06-06 09:40The Drum was created to reflect a vision and to meet a need. Both are bigger than ever now. |
Guest |
#2712016-06-12 18:11Because I would not like to see yet another black cultural centre disappear. Why? Why can't we get funding when we have excellent projects and when our community needs it in order to prevent idleness for our young people and crime? We have so much to talent to show and so much knowledge to share. This is absolutely sad and close to disgusting. |
Guest |
#2722016-06-12 21:13If we don't stand up for what we deem is black art then who will? I believe it is a disservice to all of us, and our culture by those of us within the diaspora that have the industry insight, money, time and talent to donate to, and sponsor black art, and do not, need to look at what they're really about! |
Guest |
#2732016-06-13 08:26I have been to the Drum to a number of excellent events over the years. I feel that there are Some community facilities that should continue to be funded regardless of cost because of the greater good. The Drum is one of a number of such facilities. |
