An estimated six million people in the UK have fallen behind on one or more household bill as a result of Covid-19. 

With the biggest increases in debt amongst the poorest households, the Methodist Podcast hears from JPIT about the Reset the Debt campaign and talks to Methodists in Walsall and Newcastle about the practical and emotional impact of debt. 

As some children and young people return to school, the latest edition of The Methodist Podcast considers the impact of the pandemic on education. We talk to a head teacher, a parent, pupils, the Methodist Youth President and the principal of Cliff College.

To mark the end of this year's LGBT+ history month, this week's Methodist Podcast reflects on some of the personal stories we have heard with the help of the Rev'd Delyth Liddell and includes a message from the Secretary of the Methodist Conference.

You can find all of the resources and materials from the month here.
