Churches across Rutland and surrounding areas are being asked to work even closer together to best serve the communities as we move into the colder months. The ongoing cost of living crisis will begin to be felt even more keenly as we move from autumn into winter and local churches, regardless of their denomination, are being asked to help people stay warm and fed.
