Welcome to Church Action on Poverty

Church Action on Poverty works with churches in the UK to make poverty a priority.
Get Fair
Help us to make UK poverty history
Get Fair is a major new campaign, to be launched this summer by Church Action on Poverty as part of a coalition with dozens of partners.
We will mobilise public opinion and ensure that UK poverty is an important issue for politicians in the run-up to the next General Election.
We need your help and support. Whether you can set up a local group, run an event, become a campaigner, or just spread the word to others, please join in and help us to make UK poverty history.
Stop the payday lending scandal
The Debt On Our Doorstep campaign is calling for an investigation into the practice of payday lending. Payday loan companies charge extortionate rates of interest, trapping people on low incomes into a cycle of debt.
An Early Day Motion has been tabled in Parliament, supporting our call for an investigation. We need you to ask your MP to sign this motion.
The DOOD News blog has a full briefing about payday lending, and the text of the EDM.
You can email your MP here.
How just is your church?

Use our Just Church programme to embed a concern for poverty and social justice into the life your church and community. Ideal as a Lent course, or adaptable to suit your own circumstances.

Just Church is a free download.
