@MadsDavies Part of it is also that if you address the issue before it reaches crisis point you have a better chance of preventing crisis. So food insecurity deals with the issues that contribute to food poverty, financial insecurity the issues that lead to debt etc.

Please support the organisations who are working with the newly arrived Afghan refugees, @BritishRedCross @LeicesterCoS @BabyBasicsUK and the City Council. Please don't make your own collection of items to donate until you check what is needed.

@TogetherLeic has done some great work with @yourlocalpantry this year, giving local #parish #churches the support they needed to set up subsidised pantries that help end #holidayhunger and #foodpoverty

@GaryMaylin @johnmcginleyhtl In some places the original parish church has closed and the old parish subsumed into a bigger one or split between more than one parish - makes relationships and community building from the designated parish church difficult.

@johnmcginleyhtl Can you connect us by email please John? I can pm you my email if need be. I’d love to be able to offer support. I may already know them, but not sure!

@DisabilityJ Expecting people to kneel on a piece of wood covered in carpet (ow!) and then saying ‘just stand’. I don’t mind people standing to receive, but I personally like to kneel - make the option possible!

[Together Leicester @TogetherLeic]

@DisabilityJ c) if a) is currently not possible, agreeing a suitable place in the church if they want to move to to receive communion d) if someone wants to receive in their seat, giving it to them there, with dignity.

[Together Leicester @TogetherLeic]

@DisabilityJ Good practice being asking what people want to do and enabling that by a) having a fully accessible point of receiving communion b) supporting a frail person to get to the place to receive enabling that

@pmphillips @samhailes @ThomasCreedy @danny_webster Alternatively, in person relationships reduce manipulation over relationships done over zoom or so on where the host has the power?

[Together Leicester @TogetherLeic]

@pmphillips @samhailes @ThomasCreedy @danny_webster Don’t know about theology, but relationships of trust are most frequently formed and nurtured in person. Informal in-person interaction keeps you in control of the interaction rather than the tech or the host.
