About Southwark

The London Borough of Southwark in south London forms part of Inner London and is connected by bridges across the River Thames to the City of London and London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was created in 1965 when three smaller council areas amalgamated under the London Government Act 1963. All districts of the area are within the London postal district. It is governed by Southwark London Borough Council.

At the 2001 census Southwark had a population of 244,866. Southwark was ethnically 63% white, 16% black African and 8% black Caribbean. By 2018 the population was 317,256, with 53% white, 16% black African and 6% black Caribbean. 31% of householders were owner–occupiers.

The area is the home of many Nigerian (Peckham is largely regarded as the heart of London's Nigerian community), Jamaican, South African, Polish, and French immigrants

Southwark Facilitators

Denise Miguel

Hi, I'm Denise,

I am a mother of 2., a Nursery Nurse, 1:1 Diet Plan Coach/Consultant and a community activist and volunteer. I'm also a resident.

I joined Soul Purpose 360 because I believe in empowering Black women. When Black women feel supported, they learn new things and excel in life. I want to encourage and support other women, who may have been at a disadvantage due to a variety of reasons. I want to have a positive impact in their lives. I am happy to use my experience and knowledge to help other women. I want to learn from others with the aim of empowering one another.
