A group of Falkirk churches are offering a warm welcome to anyone who needs to come in from the cold this winter.
In Bainsford Community Hall, there's a pot of homemade soup on the go that smells delicious and provides some much needed warmth on a bitingly cold day.
For the Reverend Andrew Sarle, minister of Bainsford Parish Church, the idea is more than just providing somewhere that people can sit and get a heat in the face of the cost of living crisis.
