Speaking Truth to Power is the theme for this year's Church Action on Poverty Sunday on 23 February.
As Gateshead are leading the way with the launch of their Poverty Truth Commission on 5 March, Church Action on Poverty North East’s event will take place at:
St Peter’s Church, Low Fell
3pm
Sunday 23 February
This will be an opportunity to hear more about the Gateshead Poverty Truth Commission, as well as the first-hand experience of other local initiatives like Bensham Food Cooperative and Joe’s Place.
It will also be a chance to catch up on Church Action on Poverty news and the latest campaign action.
We hope you will be able to join us, and ask you to promote the event as widely as possible.
