ACT NOW FOR A FUTURE
WHERE POVERTY CAN’T KEEP ANYONE DOWN

Church Action on Poverty is proud to be part of Let’s End Poverty, a diverse, growing movement of people who are united behind a vision for a UK where poverty can’t keep anyone down. Whoever you are, whatever your experience, join us. Let’s end poverty – now, together, forever.

There doesn’t have to be poverty in the UK. But over many years, our society has been built in a way that traps people in hardship and keeps them there.

Now, we urgently need to build something better.

We need our political leaders to step up, take responsibility and take action on poverty and everything that locks people in it.

Let’s End Poverty is a diverse, growing movement of people who are united behind a vision for a UK where poverty can’t keep anyone down.

As individuals and communities working together, our movement knows what its like to live in poverty. We understand what causes it. We can help to solve it. But we can’t do it on our own. We need our political leaders to take urgent, coordinated action to break poverty’s grip.

We stand for a future where everyone has enough to eat. Where everyone has a good quality of life and is supported through hard times, without needing food banks, clothes banks and warm hubs. Where all of us are able to wake up in the morning with hope, opportunities and options for living a fulfilling life.

We don’t and won’t accept a society where poverty persists. Let’s End Poverty.
