CHURCHES and community venues across Saddleworth are opening their doors to help residents keep warm during the cost of living crisis.
The initiative has been put in place by Saddleworth Parish Council and Churches Together in Saddleworth, which brings together local churches with the aim to work ever more closely.
They are opening up our buildings to help those who cannot easily keep warm due to the challenges of the cost of living crisis.
Being cold can seriously damage your health so please come to these warm spaces where you will receive a warm welcome and a free hot drink.

Good on the churches for doing this, but it’s absolutely disgusting they have to do it to keep people warm in 2022!!! The crackpot pursuit of ridiculous ‘climate change’ policies is coming home to roost. People will die this winter from lack of heat and food. It’s like something out of the Middle Ages. Utter madness.
