“All over the country during this crisis, churches are playing a remarkable, central role, in partnership with local and central government.  They are giving food to people who would otherwise go without, and running vital errands as well as listening and providing much-needed friendship.  I applaud the work of Love Southampton in supporting people across the City, and am full of admiration for everyone involved.”

"This is a time of great need, fear and worry. Loss of jobs, lack of money, not knowing how to cope to make ends meet. But we want you to know that there is hope, no matter the problem you’re facing. So please don’t be afraid to reach out and get the help you need. We need to love and care for each other. We can only do that if you call us. So let’s stick together and see this difficult & worrying time through."

“Love Southampton has done a simply amazing job in coordinating volunteers and arranging support and care to vulnerable citizens in our local community during this difficult time. As a Professor of Social Work and Director of the National Centre of Post Qualifying Social Work what I really admire is their commitment to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable in our society in a timely and appropriate way. They deserve our thanks and praise.”

“Love Southampton is helping mobilise people and strengthen initiatives, working open-handedly with other partner organisations for the common good. I encourage you to get involved where you can, and to pray for key workers and those who are isolated or vulnerable."
