Perth church offering heat and eat service in response to cost of living crisis

Churchgoers are preparing to welcome elderly guests to a new regular event being held in Perth twice a week organised in response to the growing cost of living crisis.

Members of Kinnoull Parish Church have arranged special events to be held in their hall every Tuesday and Friday for the foreseeable future where older members of the public can go for warmth, company and something to eat and drink throughout the day.

The idea is elderly residents who are perhaps struggling to meet rising food and energy bills or are living on their own and need to talk to someone can attend the church for food and heat instead or just engage in conversation with a friendly face.
