A bit about us

Love Your Neighbour is a national alliance of churches and other organisations, playing their part on the frontline of social transformation in cities, towns and communities across the UK.

What does Christmas mean to you? For most of us, it’s about family, friends, food, and fun. However, behind every door lies a different story, and for many in our communities Christmas is a time of isolation, anxiety, and financial worry.  

2024

We support churches to address the following areas:

Crisis

Supporting those in emergency situations through crisis food provision and other immediate help.

Cause

Helping to identify and tackle the underlying causes of poverty and equip people in areas such as debt advice and employment training. 

Community

Providing ongoing community-based support through wrap-around care such as mental health groups, drop-in cafés, and supportive relationships through the church.

Thank you for being there for me at my most needed time. I had no one else to turn to. All I had was one potato and some soup when I came to you for help. Each one of you gave me and my family hope.
