Aled Jones explores one of Jesus' best known teachings Love Thy Neighbour and discovers how it is being put into action on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Aled meets local historians to discover Sheppey's amazing hidden heritage. The island is the cradle of British Aviation with the first aeroplane manufacturers in the world, Short Brothers, setting up a factory there in 1909. It also has a rich maritime history having maintained a dockyard of great strategic importance for over 300 years. Students from the local high school get Aled involved in their award-winning dementia cafe where residents of local care homes are invited for afternoon tea, entertainment and conversation, all organised and performed by the teenagers. The Rev Cindy Kent tells Aled about moving to the island and working with others to further build the great sense of community there - even though she'd never heard of the Isle of Sheppey three years ago. She also reflects on her pop star past as the lead singer of the group The Settlers in the 60s and 70s. And JB Gill visits Sheerness Youth Club where one youth worker has been serving the young people of Sheppey for nearly 60 years! With hymns and songs from across the UK to celebrate the love of God and the Christian call to love our neighbour.
