Soul in the City - Photo Update

Following the great success of the first week (See Soul In The City Kicks off!!) which began last Monday, Soul in the City now moves into its second week. More than 15,000 young Christians from all over the UK and abroad have participated in kids holiday clubs, painting and decorating, garden clearances, organised sports, talent shows and live music events as part of Soul in the City. Many more projects are also coming up this week.

Jasmine Dorsett, a hostel officer working for Ealing Council, said: "They are giving residents a quality of life that the council just doesn't have the money for. They're bringing to the hostels colour and a homely feel-things other people take for granted."

Over 700 churches from all denominations within the M25 area have added their support to the Soul in the City event.

The event will be concluded by a celebration in Trafalgar Square this Saturday 7th August, 3pm-5pm.
