A local faith group joined forces with a nationwide charity to host a talk about the state of the climate crisis.

The St Ives Eco Action Faiths Group partnered with Christian Aid to host a climate change talk at St Ives Free Church on May 11.

At the talk, the groups spoke about the "crucial" role that churches play, locally and nationally, in the climate crisis.

A spokesperson from St Ives Eco Action Faiths Group said: "Throughout history, church people have helped to tackle injustice, be it Rev Martin Luther King and Civil Rights, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Apartheid or William Wilberforce who helped to end the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

"When churches get their act together, good things happen."
