A Rocha Living Waterways
The Living Waterways project is based in Southall and Hayes in
West London, a heavily built-up, culturally diverse area. The project aims to
work with local people to explore the wonders of God's creation and to learn
more about the beauty of the natural world first-hand.

Community centre
The heart of our work is a community Centre in Southall, where the team is
based, and where volunteers and guests are also made welcome. We host
volunteers through the European Voluntary Service (EVS) Scheme, as well as other
volunteers from across the UK and abroad. The Centre is also the
administrative hub for A Rocha UK. Read more
