Dear John

"I want the government to help young people get through this, and I won't stop campaigning until they do."

That's what 15-year-old Corey vowed, speaking to the local TV news about 'Hangry in Blackburn with Darwen', the campaign against child hunger she launched with her schoolfriends.

Watch the video below to see how Church Action on Poverty supported these young people to speak truth to power - taking their message all the way to Westminster and national television news.

The real experts

Church Action on Poverty always  works alongside the real poverty experts – people who have experienced hunger and poverty. They speak truth to power, telling their stories and calling for change.

You can add your voice to theirs. Join us in the End Hunger UK Week of Action from 11 to 18 October, and call for government action to end hunger in the UK once and for all. Follow the link below to find out how you can be part of it.
