St Philip's Centre

The Centre’s history was born out of the 2001 disturbances, the 2001 census findings, 9/11 and 7/7 events. The Church of England nationally encouraged local dioceses to engage with what became known as Presence and Engagement. In Leicester, the Bishop put local support behind creating a P & E Centre. A new idea in 2004, became a task group in 2005, which formally became the St Philip’s Centre at the beginning of 2006.
