Grenfell Hope
Stories from the community
Gaby Doherty's husband, the Revd Dr Sean Doherty, a Church of England minister, was the first clergy person on the scene of the Grenfell fire. She describes how the fire, which has come to be seen as an emblem of official indifference and class divide, has in fact united the community in North Kensington.

The 'hope' shines in a myriad of ways ... You would expect this to be a tough and moving read, and it is. Doherty writes candidly about her own reactions: the gut-wrenching pain, and times of overwhelming sadness, but also her sense of calling to the area. Her measured political comment reflects a community shocked, grieving and angry; one that is now finding its voice.
A remarkable account ... Doherty never loses sight of the more encouraging story of mutual support and potential repair ... her broad perspective is a huge achievement.
About
Gaby and her husband Sean and their four children live in a flat across from Grenfell Tower, and Sean (a Church of England minister) was the first clergy person on the scene. This book stems from personal experience of the impact of the fire. It features the testimony of and commentary on the community that experienced it, and the amazing stories of hope that followed in its wake.
Grenfell Hope will help readers understand what it was like living in North Kensington before and after the fire. It will help engage the reader with poverty issues, to examine attitudes to the poor and to consider how even small gestures in everyday life can change local communities.
In the desperate situation of the fire, God was at work in people’s hearts bringing hope in tiny gestures that mounted up to something enormous. Hope that couldn’t be ignored or even contained. Hope sprang out all over the country.
