Budget cuts: churches and charities must play bigger role
Churches and Christian charities will need to play an even bigger role in the communities they serve. That’s how Malcolm Hayday, chief executive of Charity Bank, recently responded to the news of cuts in public spending.
‘Local churches and Christian charities already make an invaluable contribution in providing services within local communities across the UK,’ said Hayday. ‘ However it seems the role churches and charities have to play in developing solutions to societal problems is likely to increase.” Charity Bank provides loan support to charities, community and faith groups, and is the only regulated bank that is also a registered general charity.
