We’re approaching a year since the Grenfell tower fire in London and a report from think tank Theos says faith groups played a vital role in recovery immediately after and in the following months since. It’s found they were ‘trusted’ by the community, they were ‘committed’– for example in the first three days alone at least 6000 people were fed by a range of faith communities, and they were ‘invested’ already having historical relationships with locals. Amy Plender from Theos told UCB’s Vicky Gibbens that lessons can still be learnt.
