This week on our blog, Niall shared some of the highlights from those 28 years: the big supporter moments; the really big policy wins; the moments of impact in local communities; and witnessing the inspiring activism of people with lived experience of poverty.

“The big task for churches is helping build a powerful movement in which people do feel they have agency, dignity and power, and in which they have enough allies to push back and say ‘enough; we are not going to take this any more’. Churches should invest in that, rather than sticking plaster solutions.”

And you’re invited to join us online on 5 June to look back on those 28 years, thank Niall for his dedication to ending poverty in the UK, and wish him all the best.

Or you could mark the event by making a donation to Church Action on Poverty of £28 - a pound for every year Niall has spent here!

Best wishes

Liam Purcell, Church Action on Poverty
