Past

Greenhouse, Camberwell, London
Greenhouse had become part of Spurgeons Child Care shortly before Raya Tibawi and Martin Farrell started a Review in early 2007. A child care project currently running four weekly groups, Greenhouse has a proud history over 50 years as an independent local Christian based youthwork voluntary organisation.

To understand the present, they started by exploring the past. Unusually, if not uniquely, the (still enthusiastically committed) project manager had a forty year connection with the Greenhouse.

Welcoming the Report, Spurgeons engaged Raya for a couple more days to help project staff start making the recommended changes to help the Greenhouse pass on its special model to others and to become sustainable beyond its current funding.
