Even if you are not religious, the benefice churches are a core part of the community. They organise many events and activities, such as parish council meetings, children's events, food bank collections, charity fundraisers, fairs, and dinners. There is always something for everyone to get involved in. 

But the Bible calls the faithful to help others in need: 

"If anyone has material possessions and ignores his brother in need, how can he love God?"

So many Christians work to help their communities become better places to live. They see this as putting their Christian faith into action. 

We have been lucky to have dedicated volunteers and generous donations to complete this essential work, however many churches are still in a difficult position. It is everyone's duty, whether religious or not, to help preserve our heritage.
