Dear John

PLEASE MAKE A REGULAR DONATION TO CHURCH ACTION ON POVERTY AT
[{CAMPAIGNPAGE_URL~163370~[link removed]}]

Donations can support people in poverty to speak out for themselves, in
powerful and creative ways. For example, Church Action on Poverty was recently
able to support the UK’s first ‘food bank choir’ to give a moving performance at
a national End Hunger UK campaign event. You can watch them sing their
own version of a famous Beatles song at [[link removed]]

Choir leader Yo Tozer-Loft said:
"People were really motivated by the chance to lobby their MPs about food
poverty. Even people who didn’t think they were singers said, 'I want to raise
my voice somehow'."

Over the next three years, our ‘Speaking Truth to Power’ programme will respond
to the urgent challenges we face, enabling more people and partner organisations
to loosen the grip of poverty in their communities. People like you have helped
it get off to a strong start already:

* Today, Church Action on Poverty Sunday , dozens of churches around the UK are holding services for Church Action on
Poverty Sunday, and raising funds to help people speak truth to power. If
your church is one of them, don’t forget to let us know how your event goes at [email protected]

* Over 350 church leaders from around the UK have added their voices to a message we published this week (see
[[link removed]]), calling on all our churches to make a stronger commitment to being alongside people in marginalised communities.

We’re very grateful for the ways you already support us, which help people to
take actions like these. But regular, dependable donations are essential to
building a movement that can keep speaking truth to power in the coming years.
If you are able to, please consider making a regular donation to Church Action on Poverty.

Every bit of support makes a difference. Just FIVE people giving £10 a month
could support another local partner, like the food bank choir, to speak truth to
power each year!

You can set up a direct debit securely online at [[link removed]]

Thanks and best wishes
