Our Commitment

The aim of the community involvement is to make a positive contribution to Lewisham, focusing on local issues and strengthening/building on local pride.

As part of its work with the community Lewisham Shopping Centre participates in national sponsorships and community activities initiated by its owner Land Securities Group PLC.

StoryQuest 2006

StoryQuest was a national initiative between The Prince of Wales Arts & Kids Foundation and Land Securities for 2006 and introduced 2,000+ children from Years 4 & 5 to the magic of stories which were brought to life for them with the help of professional storytellers.

Lewisham Shopping Centre was part of this initiative and in October 2006 local school children visited the shopping centre to be told stories by professional storyteller.

During Arts & Kids Week 2006 the schools' work was displayed at the centre which was host to drop-in storytelling events for members of the public during Arts & Kids Week 2006.

TheatreQuest 2007

For 2007 another initiative is planned between The Prince of Wales Arts & Kids Foundation and Land Securities, called TheatreQuest.  This will be based on a newly commissioned play with an environmental theme.

The Lewisham Centre, Greenwich & Lewisham Young People's Theatre & Bonus Pastor College  will work together to create costumes and/or a theatre set for the play "'A Singer from the Desert Came" by Jamila Gavin.

The work with children will begin in September and will run through to December 2007.
