Places to reflect on the Covid-19 Pandemic

Sunday marks the fifth Covid-19 Day of Reflection – an important opportunity to remember the lives lost since the pandemic began, and to honour the efforts and kindness of those who went above and beyond when Covid-19 struck.

Join a multi-faith reflection service

Come together to reflect with the Stockport multi-faith network at an event on Sunday 9th March at 3pm. It’s taking place at Dialstone Lane Methodist Church, Stockport SK2 7LQ
