Dear John

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

The Collective

On Tuesday we launched the pilot episode of The Collective. The Collective is Church Action on Poverty's new monthly show that brings together inspiring stories from across the country of collective action to promote dignity, agency and power.

The first episode focused on Church Responses to the Crisis and included stories from Liverpool and Sheffield.

Don't worry if you missed it on Tuesday, you can watch the full episode on Facebook, or read a summary of it here.

The next episode will look at community repsonses and will be live Zoom and Facebook on Tuesday 15th September, 2 - 2.40 pm.

Gathering on the Margins

Gathering on the Margins is back on Tuesday 21st July, 2 - 3 pm. This session will be a chance to have a catch up, reflect on how the last month has been and discuss community responses to the crisis.

Join us on Zoom.
