Lesley, Rector of the Parish of Jarrow and Simonside shares with us about the local community and the many groups which help to support others. This includes the four parish churches which offer different ways of support, from warm spaces to free food to those in need, debt advice and cooking classes. Lesley sees this as an important way of being church today.
