On behalf of Transforming Lives Together (TLT), I am delighted to announce that Wendy Robertson will be back working with us as we seek to build a movement to tackle poverty in the Diocese of Chester.

TLT’s new independent charitable status and an imaginative collaboration with Chester Cathedral, brings a new dimension of possibilities and exciting opportunities to make a tangible difference to the most vulnerable in society. Wendy’s superb track record in addressing issues, such as food poverty and social isolation, is going to be desperately needed as the country emerges from the pandemic.

I am thrilled that Wendy is now available for Churches that want to talk to her about TLT’s flagship programmes, ‘Filling the Gap’ and ‘Places of Welcome’, but also to help any Church community think through issues around poverty.

Finally I am deeply grateful to Chester Cathedral for their co-operation in making this possible and to those who have financially supported this new start for TLT. Together with our partners, Chester Diocese and the Church Urban Fund we are making a movement to tackle poverty and we invite others to join in.
