The #LoveYourNeighbour campaign is a grassroots UK-wide emergency response to the Covid-19 crisis. Love Your Neighbour is strategically partnering with volunteers, churches, schools, hospitals, charities, businesses, local councils and others across the UK to help as many people as we possibly can. My hub is part of Lovechurch (St Swithuns and St Clements) based in Bournemouth & Boscombe, Dorset. The #Loveyourneighbour campaign has grown in a few months to become part of a nation-wide alliance of 245 churches of all denominations, and over 1,000 schools and local community projects, supplying emergency food and supplies to people in crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic together with other crucial personal support such as debt advice and employment training. Love Your Neighbour loves working collaboratively and is passionate about unity across town, city and nation. Our volunteer teams are sourcing and delivering food at scale to those in need and have collaboratively so far delivered over 3.5 million meals across the nation. Starting with an emergency pop-up food bank in London, Love Your Neighbour has grown in a few months to become a nation-wide alliance of over 290 churches of all denominations, and over 1,000 schools and local community projects.We are a collaboration under the Church Revitalisation Trust (CRT) and are working with charities such as CFEO, the HTB Shelter, Resurgo Spear, Crosslight, Kids Matter and Safe Families for Children to provide specialist support to at-risk groups.Together, we are playing our part in helping the most isolated and vulnerable in our communities at this time.
