Copleston Community Centre and Church work side by side, not only in the same building, but also on joint initiatives and events. Most recently we have together hosted a community peace event and the launch of our newly decorated cafe and food-growing space. Throughout this year Saatchi Gallery have been running a popular community residency at Copleston. Artist Florence Goodhand-Tait ran some successful art workshops as part of our ‘Places in Peckham’ project last year which culminated in an exhibition. Dimple Discs is a Peckham-based record label that host monthly affordable gigs in the church. Copleston Church has been actively building an inclusive church, welcoming LGBTQ+ people to the congregation.
