Plunging temperatures and rising fuel and food prices are all having a severe impact on all sorts of people. Roy Jenkins looks at what some churches around Wales are doing to help people trapped in the cost of living crisis during the run-up to Christmas. In Trethomas, in the borough of Caerphilly, Roy meets Revd Dean Roberts, whose Parish Trust and Care Project, established during the Pandemic, continue to help people living in the area. Julia Bartholomew, minister of Rhos-on-Sea United Reformed Church talks about the Warm Space that her church has recently opened up, offering hot food and company to all who come. Jessica Foster of the Trussell Trust explains the continuing importance of churches for the work of foodbanks. In Flintshire, Fr Dominic Cawdell talks about The Table - an initiative offering hot meals for people in the Holywell and Greenfield parishes. And in Merthyr Tydfil, Roy speaks to Heidi Jacobson and Lisa Edwards, organisers of The Pantry at Hope Church.
