Trips

At London Riverside Church, we are contemporary in our ways. We also offer trips to schools in the local area, which gives young people the opportunity to be exposed to what a modern church looks like. 

Depending on the number of students, we can show them around the building, and we can host them in the auditorium, where we can deliver seminars or assemblies. This might be something particularly useful at Christmas and Easter times. We are happy to work with what would be beneficial for the young people.

Assemblies

London Riverside Church has been back 20 years in many of the schools Assemblies are a great opportunity to inspire students to aim higher in their lives. Most of our assemblies are planned in a presentation style, including media and inspirational talks.

We recognise that different schools have a wide variety of ways of running their assemblies. We will fit in to whatever is better suited to your school. We can prepare talks on topics given by the school or we can come with our own topics.

Examples of our own topics:

  • achievement
  • anger
  • priorities
  • Easter
  • Christmas
  • taking risks
  • facing your fears
  • working hard

Workshops

We can take PSHE lessons/run workshops. Again, with young people we have found that allowing them to speak with others of a similar age and help them to discuss life issues with us has helped them to think carefully about choices they make with their lives. 

With these lessons, our team would choose topics and prepare a presentation for the class which would include video, music discussion etc. Lessons have been done on topics such as ‘knife crime and peer pressure’, ‘friendship’ and ‘drugs and alcohol’.

Mentoring

We can also offer mentoring sessions. Our team are trained in John Maxwell’s ‘Beyond Success’, which is a personal growth and leadership development programme, ideal for high achievers to strive for more.

Delivery Format

The work is all in-school, apart from the trips, which are at our centre in Parsloes Avenue.
