Trinity in Camberwell

Trinity in Camberwell is a registered charity which exists ‘to provide, promote, assist and encourage the advancement of education and relief of need and other charitable objects for the benefit of the community in the Parish of St George’s, Camberwell, and the neighbourhood thereof’.

Its work is accomplished primarily through supporting the Trinity College Centre, opened in Camberwell in 1981. The presence of the Centre in the heart of the community is vital for the large number of community groups based in the Centre, including a pre-school nursery, an after-school club, a youth club, a Pop-in Centre for adults with learning disabilities, a school for boys otherwise excluded from education, several cultural groups from local ethnic communities (Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ugandan) and other local organisations serving young people and specialist interests.

Trinity College’s involvement in Camberwell goes back more than a century to the founding of the college mission in 1885. To this day, the College values its close ties with the Parish of St George, of which it is the patron. Through its chaplaincy, the College encourages groups of young people from south London to explore the possibility of pursuing university education, and undergraduates from Trinity regularly assist in welcoming them to the College. In late July, the Summer Holiday Scheme, which is run out of the Trinity College Centre, draws undergraduates to the Centre for a week of mentoring and providing summer holiday activities for local teenagers.

A recent appeal, launched to mark the 125th anniversary of Trinity’s involvement in Camberwell, has been well received and successful. Generous donations from alumni, together with grants from charitable trusts, have enabled us to raise the funding for two capital projects at the Centre – a new kitchen and a new astroturf playground.

It is important that, through this appeal and through subsequent gifts, the vital link between the College and Camberwell be secured and strengthened.
