Dear John

ON CHURCH ACTION ON POVERTY SUNDAY NEXT FEBRUARY, YOU CAN HELP PEOPLE SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER!

In these challenging times, truth has been devalued, and the real issues facing
people in our poorest communities are in danger of being forgotten. It’s vital
that these voices are heard by people in power. We need everyone’s voices to be
heard if we’re to unlock poverty, and build a just and compassionate society.

Church Action on Poverty enables people in poverty to speak out for themselves.
We know that when people speak truth to power, they can make real change that
tackles the root causes of UK poverty. In recent years, our campaigns have
delivered real policy change on issues including Universal Credit, holiday
hunger, high-cost lending, and measuring food insecurity.

OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, OUR NEW ‘SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER’ PROGRAMME WILL
RESPOND TO THE URGENT CHALLENGES WE FACE, ENABLING MANY PEOPLE AND PARTNER
ORGANISATIONS TO LOOSEN THE GRIP OF POVERTY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

You can help make sure they have a big impact. On Church Action on Poverty Sunday,
23 February 2020, help us kickstart our appeal. Could you take a collection or
organise a simple soup lunch in your church, and join the many other churches
across the UK, praying together and raising funds to help people speak truth to
power?

We’re looking for at least 200 churches across the country, to hold a simple
‘power lunch’ or take a collection, to raise funds to enable more people and
groups to speak truth to power, and loosen the grip of poverty in their
communities. It would be fantastic if yours could be one of them!

Sign up below to let us know you’ll be taking part, and order your pack of
fundraising and worship resources. We look forward to hearing from you!
