A more Christ-like Church: How to tackle loneliness and support struggling households

Bishop Gavin visited the Around Table hot meals initiative at Holy Trinity Church, Charlton, led by Wantage Parish. In response to the cost-of-living crisis and from listening to the needs of their community, with a team of dedicated volunteers and a professional chef, they provide over 100 free hot meals each week to anyone who needs it. Around Table brings together people of all ages and backgrounds from the local community around a table, helping tackle loneliness and supporting struggling households. Resources for churches looking to tackle the cost of living crisis can be found on the website:
