A short course to equip churches and groups to act on poverty

Our group was really inspired by the Act on Poverty course. Now we’re looking for ways to share the messages with our wider church

————  John Turner  ————

This two-hour course will help you and your church gain a deeper understanding of poverty and help equip people to do something about it.

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

We’re running the course online on 27 November. See you there?

If you’d rather run the course yourself in your church, everything you need can be found below. Start at the top and download the resources. The multimedia clips can also be downloaded and are designed to work alongside the main course pack.
