Mince pies, mulled wine, Christmas stalls - 6.15pm - 7.30pm

Come along and sing some of your favourite carols.

Singers from St John's Community Choir, Take Note Singers, and Coin Street’s community singing group, are coming together to perform Christmas favourites and special choral pieces. Why not get in the festive spirit and join in on a carol or two? Stick around to enjoy stalls, mince pies and mulled wine after the service.
St John’s has teamed up with Coin Street to raise funds for Room For You and Coin Street’s youth programme - two brilliant projects that support and bring together local people in Waterloo and North Southwark.

Coin Street’s youth programme
Young people, aged 8-17 years, take part in a range of activities at Coin Street including youth gym, youth night, Young Leaders, weekend football, and tutoring and mentoring, enjoying a safe space to have fun and make friends.

Room for You

A free social, creative and community programme run by TBAW that gives people the chance to learn new skills, hone their creative talents, make friends and be part of our growing community as participants and/or volunteers. We welcome everyone, including refugees, asylum seekers and people experiencing homelessness and isolation. Through this programme, we also encourage people to complete work placements.

How can you support the projects?
Make a donation, big or small, when booking your tickets. Where admission is free, we suggest a donation of £10 per adult. Please give what you can. Spread the word. Tell friends, family, and colleagues about the event, so they can book, donate, and enjoy festivities too!
