National Day of Reflection - 23rd MarchOn 23 March 2021, it’ll be one year since the first UK lockdown. Since then, millions of people have been bereaved, both as a result of Covid-19 and due to other causes. The restrictions we’ve all been living under have meant that many people have had to grieve without the comfort of having friends and family around them.

The national Church of England is one of several organisations supporting it. At St. Luke's we want to offer some support as people take this opportunity to reflect on the last year. |
