Background:

The vision of St Alban’s Fulham is to see a great awakening of faith in Jesus, transforming Fulham and beyond and ever since the church was re-opened 10 years ago as a church plant from
Holy Trinity Brompton, young people have been one of the key priority areas for us as we work towards that vision.

To give you a snapshot, over the last year, St Alban’s Fulham has supported 135 young people (60% male) through weekly youth clubs, sports activities, holiday programmes, mentoring and support. We have built strong partnerships and trust in the local community. We currently work in collaboration with the council, police, local schools, Youth Offending Team and other key community stakeholders.  As result we have seen our youth provision make a considerable difference in the lives of local young people, seeing them grow in confidence, and build new friendships. The majority of young people live on the council estates adjacent to the church and are a focus for our projects.

We deliver a weekly discipleship group and offer termly events for young people to explore faith. Throughout the year St Alban’s Fulham supports three local schools by providing assemblies and offers courses in ‘healthy relationships’.

The projects are led and co-ordinated by a full time female Youth and Community Worker along with a team of local volunteers. Despite the challenges of 2020 we were still able to fulfil many of our objectives and have continued supporting young people online, outdoors, and in small groups.
