Situated on the river between historic Greenwich and industrial Woolwich, St Luke’s is a Christian community, part of the Church of England, nurturing and supporting its members in exploring their faith. It seeks to live as an inclusive community recognising and valuing difference and praying for the reconciliation of divisions.
It exists to serve Christians and the wider community by living out Christ’s message: offering hospitality to the stranger, sanctuary for the vulnerable, empowerment for all people.
Our parish of Charlton: St Luke with Holy Trinity is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Southwark’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the PSO Rick Newman ([email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Pamela Chisholm ([email protected]).
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
