Community support – Information urgently needed.

A message from Bishop Rachel and Bishop Robert

It is important that we do all we can, in a safe way and following national guidance, to help those in our communities who are most vulnerable. There are some simple but effective things we can all do to help, such as taking out the bins, making a phone call, collecting shopping that will make a world of difference to those in need.

Gloucestershire County Council has created an online help hub, which is collating all the support people, organisations and worshipping communities are providing in response to the Covid-19 crisis. They are also asking for people who are willing to volunteer their time and skills. This information then helps the district councils find the community support needed for those most in need.

This is really important information and we know our worshipping communities are actively helping so please do sign up

It would also be hugely helpful if you can send us the information so we can help provide a coordinated response across our diocese. Please email with how you are serving the community.
