As we move forward, it is the local churches that will be there to help people, as they have been for many centuries, through both good and bad times. However, despite local volunteers’ best efforts, a large repair bill or the need for basic facilities like toilets and catering facilities can limit activities or even lead to closure. Due to increased uncertainty around public funding and now the impact of Covid-19, many are at greater risk at a time when local communities are in greater need. Without significant help, we will lose these “houses of good” and we will all be poorer as a result. We cannot let these buildings crumble. Not only are churches our heritage, and our past, they are integral to our futures.
