Church Action on Poverty Sunday takes place each year on the Sunday closest to the International Day for the Eradication on Poverty (17 October).
Save the date!
The next Church Action on Poverty Sunday will be on 18 October 2026
On Church Action on Poverty Sunday, we give, act and pray together in our churches around the UK. We know that by doing so we can help to bring about a more just and compassionate society, where everyone can live life to the full, freed from poverty.
More than 75 churches took part in Church Action on Poverty Sunday services in 2025. Thank you all!
The 2026 theme and resources will be published in summer 2026, but you can sign up now, to make sure you receive them as soon as they’re ready.
The Church Action on Poverty team were very supportive to me and it was great to be able to work along side them, I would like to thank them all for everything that they did in encouraging me with the Let's End Poverty project.
