"The Noise 2011" takes place on Bank Holiday Weekend, Saturday 28th to Monday 30th May.
Funday at the "Noise" 2008
Back in 2004, an event called “Soul in the City” was held in various centres throughout the London area. For two weeks we hosted a team of volunteers, as youth volunteers came from all over the UK to clean up large areas of Burnt Oak. Some from our congregation joined them, working with other local churches and in partnership with Barnet Council and the Metropolitan Police. We decided to continue this effort the following year and the "Noise" was born. Since then, each May Bank Holiday weekend, the work continues with local volunteers getting involved. We have strong relationships with the Council, the Police and with residents in the area. This has enabled us to work together to build a better community to live in. Our aim as a church is to practically show the love of God by providing social action weekends and free fun-days for the residents to enjoy. We have had fantastic support from Barnet Homes, Burnt Oak Safer Neighbourhood Team and other local organisations and churches. Tesco, our local supermarket, has also generously provided packed lunches for the volunteers. If you would like to get involved, please email am.ottaviani@ntlworld.com or speak to Marcus and Amanda.
