bosco centre
The Bosco Centre, located at the eastern end of Jamaica Road, is home to a post
16 Vocational College, a nursery and youth club. At the heart of everything we
do is our total commitment to improving the lives of local young people. This
passion and commitment has grown from the work of one person. A person who was
born in the west of Scotland but who found her spiritual home in Bermondsey.
Sister Cecily Dunn’s arrival in Rotherhithe was not expected. She had to be
hastily evacuated from Liverpool after her relentless desire to help young
people had angered the local drug dealers who saw that her powerful message was
stripping them of their customers. This ability to disrupt for the good of young
people was to characterise her for the rest of her life.
