​​​St Augustine's originally had its own church school for many years in the purpose built buildings next door to the church. It was much loved and many people remember their time there happily. We have a couple of its former teachers in our current congregation. When St Augustine's was merged with another school it moved into the new buildings now named Westminster CoE Primary Academy. Our Children's and Youth Worker, Anna Gulland, is a Governor there and leads collective worship assemblies once a week.
​
St Clement’s welcomes local schools and community groups to visit the church and learn about our faith and history through a guided journey through its magnificent arts and crafts.
​
If you want to organise a visit for your school to either of our churches. Please contact our youth worker Anna on 07907358037 or at youthworker.heartandanchor@gmail.com
The Anchor Project was founded by St Clement's Church in 2004, as a community project to serve the people of BD3. Indi Elcock has led the project since its inception and is also a PCC Member at St Clement's. The Anchor Project became an independent charity in 2016. Rev Rosy Fairhurst and Lucky Igharo are members of the Trustees from St Clement's and John Joyce from St Peter's RC is our Chair. We are also incredibly grateful to Fr Nick Clews for his work as Treasurer to the Project. We have church members who are users and volunteers at the project and enjoy a close working relationship.
The Project operates from St Clement's Monday-Friday during term time. Most activities happen from the West End Rooms. The Anchor Project Office is situated at the East End of the church (up the drive and on the right). The Project also holds an annual BD3 Garden Festival in the summer.
Anchor Project runs an elder's lunch, a drop-in for asylum seekers with food and second-hand clothes, a parent-toddler group and English language classes, one conversational and one for women only.

St Augustine's has been involved in community outreach for a long time. It used to have its work based at North Wing in Wapping until that building was sold to help finance buying the former St Augustine's Primary School, next door to St Augustine's church, in partnership with the local community, to found Community Works.
Jane Lees is the Leader of Community Works and has been there since the beginning. Rosy Fairhurst and Janet Naylor are Church Trustees and we are looking for two more Christians who would be willing to join us on the Board to fill the church places. We are always interested in people from the wider community who would be willing to serve in this way.
