A GUIDE TO YOUTH SERVICES IN SOUTHWARK services for young people in southwark 4introduction 5 Bermondsey and rotherhithe 15 BOROUGH, BANKSIDE AND WALWORTH 27 Camberwell and dulwich 39 peckham, peckham rye and nunhead 49 INDEX OF SERVICES 50 INDEX OF BOROUGHWIDE PROJECTS 3 introduction Welcome to our guide to activities and services for young people in Southwark. The guide is intended for use by people who work with, or run services for, young people aged 11 to 19 (up to 25 for young people with special needs), though parents and carers will find it useful too. We hope it helps you see the full range of services on offer. Please share this information with others, and encourage young people to make the most of what’s on offer. The information is listed under themes, within our four locality areas – Camberwell and Dulwich; Peckham, Nunhead and Peckham Rye; Bermondsey and Rotherhithe and Borough, Bankside and Walworth. Some of the projects cover the whole borough although they may be based in one particular location. To find out which projects are borough-wide there is a separate index at the back as well as the usual alphabetical index. The guide was collated by the youth providers network, a group of people who work with or provide services for young people, and which supports youth providers in Southwark. The network has regular meetings, and a weekly e-bulletin updates members on current projects. If you would like to find out more about the network, or would like your service details promoted on our youth website, www.whtvr.org, please contact: The youth providers network Southwark Council 160 Tooley Street London SE1P 5LX email [email protected] or call 020 7525 1523. We hope you find it useful and look forward to hearing your feedback on this booklet. 4 www.whtvr.org services for young people in southwark bermondsey rotherhithe Arts and Culture Crime reduction 7 7 7 7 7 9 Ilderton motor project 9 Juvenile fire setters intervention scheme 9 XLP Brunel museum Community youth limited DIY/Cafe gallery projects London Bubble theatre company Unicorn theatre Community Centres and support organisations 8 8 8 9 9 9 Beormund community centre Dockland Settlement Southwark arts forum South Bermondsey partnership Time and Talents YHA Rotherhithe Education AND TRAINING 9 9 9 9 Blue Anchor library Rotherhithe library Southwark College Southwark Young Pilgrims more over page BERmONDSE Y AND ROTHERHITHE … CONT INUED ENVIRONmENT UNIfORmED GROUpS 10 Community space challenge 10 Surrey Docks farm 10 Young friends of Southwark park 13 13 13 13 fAITH AND mINORITY ETHNIC GROUpS 10 10 10 10 11 11 Bermondsey Christian centre City Hope church Haddon Hall Baptist church Hornafrik integration projects Southwark Muslim association Southwark Travellers education support services HEAlTH 11 Stop smoking team INfORmATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE 11 Young mums project pARTICIpATION 11 Bermondsey youth community council 11 Rotherhithe youth community council 12 Speaker Box SpECIAl NEEDS 12 Toucan employment project SpORTS 12 12 12 12 12 13 Bacons College sports Millwall community scheme Seven Islands leisure centre Southwark community games Surrey Docks watersports centre Whites Grounds skate park 14th Bermondsey Scout group 16th Bermondsey Scout group 20th Bermondsey Scout group Thames Angels Explorer Scout unit YOUTH ClUBS AND ADVENTURE plAYGROUNDS 13 Bede youth adventure project 13 Bermondsey and Rotherhithe detached youth project 13 Bosco centre 14 Downside Fisher youth club 14 New Venture youth club 14 Odessa youth club 14 Oxford and Bermondsey youth club 14 Salmon youth centre 14 Silwood youth project 14 Surrey Docks adventure playground 14 Youth club for the Blue ARTS AND CUlTURE Brunel museum Brunel Engine House, Railway Avenue, SE16 4LF 020 7231 3842 www.brunel-museum.org.uk The engine house is an ancient monument on an international landmark site, now a museum with an education outreach programme.
