People from different communities across London have been offering food, shelter, clothing and support to those affected by the terrible tragedy at Grenfell Tower last week where 58 people lost their lives and hundreds were made homeless..
Churches, mosques and gurdwaras opened their doors to provide space for those needing shelter. Hundreds of bags of food, clothing and water poured in to the centres from people in the community. Fitness centres, local businesses and a primary school also offered tea and shelter.
The Telegraph reported, " Volunteers from the Muslim Aid charity collected and distributed donations alongside Anglican and Sikh volunteers."
Some collection centres had so many donations they had to stop accepting contributions.
What is happening in the picture?
Who do you see? What are they doing?
Explain the story
- What do you notice about the people in the photo?
- How are the people similar, how are they different?
- What is the aim for the person offering food?
- Is the person offering food worried about the faith or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disabilities of the people taking the food?
- what does this picture show about community cohesion in the UK today?
- What can we learn from the places of worship opening their doors to people of different faith?
- What can we learn from the community response to this tragedy?
- Why is this about No Outsiders?
Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy.
