2007

Soul in the City - Wimbledon 2007 was a brilliant success...

Over 30 volunteers from around 11 churches in and around Wimbledon got involved. Local community support officers, police and a team from Morden Council's estate support service team also helped out.

One of the highlights was the regeneration of a community garden behind Norfolk house. Residents, young people, volunteers the police and the council got stuck in and paid some long needed attention to the garden. Residents commented on what a difference it had made. One resident was particularly proud of the bench that she painted which will still be standing as a testimony to her hard work in years to come!

Before...	After..

Volunteers also had a programme of fellowship, worship and teaching led by church leaders in Wimbledon.

Soul in the CIty - Wimbledon would like to thank everyone who helped the project happen. The churches for their prayer cover and financial support, Wimbledon Police and Merton youth service for their support both with equipment and financially, Merton council estate services team for their financial support and superior gardening knowledge, and last but not least the volunteers for their time and unconditional energy and enthusiasm!
