Watch: Our PLC Colleague Tim Mortimer on the role of faith actors during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Our PLC colleague Tim Mortimer, from the Faith and Belief Forum spoke about the role of faith groups duing the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Britain faith groups are delivering essential services during the pandemic, but there may be tension as they fill gaps in welfare provision while retaining their distinctive ethos.

The likely continuing contribution of volunteers after the crisis was the subject of a Religion Media Centre online briefing - the third in a series looking at the impact of Covid-19 on the religious landscape of Britain. Local authorities have said the relationship with faith groups increased as their long-standing presence in the community was of great value when delivering services.
