Disability Real Action Group of Norfolk (DRAGONS)

The Dragons Project began in 2011 (under a different name) as an independent organisation and, although based at Nansa, the project was not actually part of the charity. They became the ‘Dragons’ after a consultation with participants in 2016 and in April 2021, Dragons joined the Norfolk and Norwich SEND Association as a formal Nansa project and together, Nansa and the Dragons, aim to increase opportunities for advocacy and participation, in Norfolk, for young people with disabilities and special educational needs. 

The DRAGONs (Disability Real Action Group of Norfolk) are a group of young people with disabilities that are looking to make sure that SEND opportunities, in Norfolk, are accessible and that young people are enjoying their services.

Thanks to support from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, the Dragons have partnered with Active Norfolk and launched a new programme called Dragons On The Move.
