“I can’t recommend St Philip’s Centre highly enough for delivering religious workshops in schools… the children thoroughly enjoyed their hands-on and interactive ‘Celebrations’ workshop centred around Easter. The children had the opportunity to handle religious objects, act out parts from the Bible, such as baptising adult Jesus and washing Jesus’s feet. It was the perfect way to reinforce the children’s knowledge.”
