Over 60 people joined in the first of a series of giving webinars in May on Lockdown Resourcefulness, and a further 17 people attended a repeat session.

Run by Christine Salaman and Liz Wallace, the online sessions are aimed at resourcing churches during the Covid lockdown but also to assist them as life slowly returns to normal. The first webinar looked at the Parish Giving scheme and how this can be used effectively, as well as developing online giving and creative ways to give online.

The sessions featured Q&A opportunities and a clear demand for more was highlighted. As a result the team will be delivering weekly session at 11am each Thursday.
