Dear John
Here's your weekly update from Church Action on Poverty. As usual, we have
stories of how people are staying connected during the Coronavirus outbreak, and
resources to help you do the same.

poet Matt Sowerby, blogger and spoken word performer Ellis Howard, filmmaker
Broden Salmon, musician Clare Pettinger and others. This one is not to be

ARE WE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT? SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS FOR OUR VIDEO
We’re making a short film as part of Church Action on Poverty’s Food Power
programme’s creative responses to COVID-19. We're asking the question ‘Are we
all in the same boat?' and we want your contributions.

We'll be in touch again next week - and we hope we'll see you at our gathering
on the margins. In the meantime, stay safe and stay connected.
Best wishes
