If you are affected by the Cost of Living crisis, or if you are part of a group that is offering help and support locally, please look at https://www.caritasbrentwood.org/cost-of-living/. You can add to this webpage by contacting the Director of Caritas Diocese of Brentwood, Siân Thomas-Cullinan on caritas@dioceseofbrentwood.org
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parishes that shared the good work that is happening in their local areas to support all those during these colder months. You can find what has been shared so far on the Caritas website https://www.caritasbrentwood.org/cost-of-living/
Please if you have not yet sent anything, I would encourage you to do so ASAP. (E.g. warm spaces/foodbanks/coffee mornings/advice contacts/finance help etc)
