After the Grenfell fire, the church got it right where the council failed (Guardian)

“I was woken up at 3am by a priest who lives in the tower, and so I came down to the church, opened the doors and turned the lights on"... It all began from there. People started coming in out of the dark – often passersby looking to help. First they sorted out tea and coffee. By 7am, they had a fully stocked breakfast bar, with volunteers organising themselves into teams. Within hours, local restaurants were delivering food; clothes began to pile high in the church sanctuary – about 40 Transit vans’ worth, the vicar estimates. The place looked like a warehouse.
