Southwark Council: London, 2017. Rotherhithe Ward Profile This profile has been developed as part of the Southwark Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).

  • Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care (DH&SCC)
    Case Study: Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care (DH&SCC) The Dementia Project, Southwark, South London. DH&SCC is a Charity offering activity and social groups to improve the quality of life and the physical and mental health of isolated older residents in Southwark. Its vision is to support older people in feeling part of their community and the life that is going on around them. The Charity recognised that there was limited support available locally for people attending its groups recently diagnosed with dementia. To fill this gap funding was secured to set up The Dementia Project to help alleviate the increased feelings of isolation and loneliness reported by those newly diagnosed and to increase access to support for those less in touch with local services. The project involves two groups, a fortnightly reading group and a fortnightly support group. The Dementia Project is managed by a by a paid co-ordinator, supported by a project worker and volunteers. Community based support to reduce isolation experienced by people Demographics newly diagnosed with dementia. White British 77% White Irish 2% The support group aims to build and regain confidence through shared Indian 4% discussion about the impact of a dementia diagnosis for themselves and Caribbean 9% their family.

Attached to the south west corner of the church is a large hall with ancillary rooms to the west and north. The single bell (electrically chimed) dates from 1838 so may not have come from the first St Crispin's (1879). "a square central space, with three shallow arms - organ gallery and transepts; and a larger sanctuary, with narrow aisles and a chapel on the left. There is a little Greek detail. The mural above the altar is by Hans Feibusch, 1959: the ceiling is painted with sky and clouds. The glass in the chapel is by M. C. Farrar Bell." (from 'Parish Churches of London', Basil F L Clarke, Batsford, 1966) The church was made redundant on 1 August 1999 and the parish split between the neighbouring parishes of Bermondsey, St James with Christ Church (which picked up the name) and Rotherhithe, St Mary with All Saints. A proposed use as an Information Technology centre fell through. An amending scheme of 2003 permitted use as a nursery (Skallywags).
