Faith in Regeneration

Creating Opportunity for Children in London South Central

This project is led by Lambeth WelCare and churches and faith groups of North Lambeth and North Southwark and has support from a wide range of local voluntary and statutory agencies.

The aim is to improve the ways faith groups work with communities in the London South Central area in order to break the cycle of child poverty and to develop five new or substantially enhanced partnership projects working with children and young people.

A Project Worker is in post and two Trustees represent the Cicely Northcote Trust on this project. The Trust has agreed to assist with funding for two years, subject to the balance of funding required being raised.

Healthy Start

Healthy Start began in September 2004 and is currently funded for one academic year.

It is a new project of the Lambeth Health Education Link Service. The project worker is in post and she has been holding sessions in Lambeth Primary Schools and gives parents and carers the opportunity to meet and talk to health professionals in an informal setting.

The aim is to develop parents'/carers' awareness of health issues, such as healthy eating, emergency first aid, child development and behaviour and dental hygiene. An unexpected and welcome outcome of the sessions has been the growth of positive interactive relations between the parents who attend the group.
