St Johns Waterloo Church - Opening of Crypt, 1984
Thanks to David’s eldest son Simon and to David and Lesley Brooks, David’s old VHS video is a digital video!
The centre was formally opened by Her Majesty The Queen on Friday 2nd November 1984.
Read David’s memory about how a small community mounted a Campaign that raised ￡ 720,000 to refurbished the crypt >
You can see the annual report of the Waterloo Trust that David (then 42 years old) and Danny Levine (David’s best friend, director of the North Lambeth Day Centre, and former single homeless himself) set up in 1982 to raise funds to convert the crypt of St John’s Waterloo Road into a rehabilitative centre for the single homeless.
