“Seven long years on from Grenfell, progress has seemed agonisingly slow on any number of fronts, but I find the seeds of hope in many places,” said Mary White from the Latymer community church in the shadow of the burnt-out tower.

The church was one of several places of worship and community centres that opened their doors after the Grenfell Tower fire. More than seven years later, these local hubs have continued to support survivors, bereaved families and the communities living near the high-rise in north Kensington, west London.
