Rock ctr

 

The picture is from a mural at the Rockingham Centre near the Elephant and Castle. I visited it many times whilst at my placement, based at St Peter’s church.
The mural is separate from St Peter’s but a great picture.

The placement is through an organisation called Near Neighbours who work in the area as part of the Anglican Church funding and developing local projects.

I have been looking specifically at activities for children in churches and other faith groups and some non faith groups and how those activities ensure the safety of the children and young people

There was much walking around Walworth Road and the areas nearby. It has been excellent and I have loved the many different groups that find ways to deliver projects, some great ideas turned into action, wonderful. At St Peter’s the crypt below and Inspire, offering activities and space and a wonderful cafe.

In the area, there are many different faith groups and activities for children and in time I will write about how these are working towards a better future for children.
But in the short term this has been a really great experience.
Thanks to all at St Peter’s and God Bless.
