Activities for the school holidays

Jul 2 2004

YOUR readers should know about the Lollard Street Adventure Playground Project, which is happening from July 26 to 30 at Lollard Street, Kennington, and the Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Holiday Club (August 1-6) at St Mark's Church, Kennington, as part of Soul in the City.

From July 26 to August 5, Soul in the City plans to mobilise 15,000 young people from around the UK and other nations in community projects, sports and music initiatives, children's clubs, and other schemes across Greater London.

These have been developed in conjunction with more than 490 local churches, and other partnership organisations such as the Metropolitan Police and local government, to ensure that they are tailored to meet areas of real local need, and effect lasting social change.

Soul in the City is a Christian initiative which seeks to emphasise that "actions speak louder than words". From July 26 to 30, 40-50 young people will be engaged each afternoon in renovating the Lollard Street Adventure Playground.

The playground is situated in Lambeth and sees up to 200 children and young people making use of it each day during the school holidays. The young people involved will be painting, weeding and clearing the site.

From August 1 to 6, St Mark's Church will be running a holiday club for eight to 12-year-olds each afternoon, based on Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. During the week, the young people will get a chance to sing, dance, act and be involved in art and craft activities, as they prepare to perform the musical on August 6 at 7pm.

Anyone wishing to find out more about Soul in the City, including how they can take part, can either ring 01923 333331 or visit: www.soulinthecity.co.uk
