Act On Poverty: six-week Lent programme - Church Action on Poverty

A six-week course to equip churches and groups to act on poverty - ideal for Lent

Developed jointly with Christian Aid and our other partners, this course addresses poverty both globally and in the UK.

We’ve refreshed the content ready for Lent 2025.

The course will help Christians gain a deeper understanding of poverty and get equipped to talk to political representatives about it.

There’s also a short version of the course that you can run as a two-hour workshop.

The six session packs and extra resources are available below – get stuck in.
