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.

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.

  • 1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill 1.1
    1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill 1.1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill Area Vision 1.1.1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill are: • On the boundary of Lambeth, Croydon and Bromley; • An edge of town centre location situated to the north of Upper Norwood District Town Centre; • Characterised by a range of housing types including Victorian terrace and semi-detached family housing, typical of a 19th-century railway suburb, alongside more modern housing types; • An area with plentiful public open spaces and in close proximity to Crystal Palace Park, Dulwich Upper Wood and Norwood Park offering panoramic views towards Central London. • Accessible by rail from mainline stations to Gipsy Hill station and bus routes, however there is no tube connection and the area is less well served by public transport than many other parts of Southwark. 1.1.2. Development in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill should: • Preserve and enhance the character of Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill; • Complement, and not detract from, the economic function of Upper Norwood town centre; • Provide as many homes as possible across a range of tenures including social housing; • Prioritise walking and cycling and improve public transport to reduce pressure on car parking and improve accessibility; • Support improvements to local connectivity and accessibility including enhanced public transport, walking and cycling routes; • Support improvements to local services to meet local needs, including for school places and GP provision. 1.1.3. Growth opportunities in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill: Whilst development opportunities in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill are relatively limited, the area has the potential to contribute towards meeting Southwark’s housing need.
