Resources now available!

Welcome

to the Poverty & Homelessness Action Week website

The place to resource your church to make a real difference in communities everywhere.

Poverty & Homelessness Action Week 2009 runs from 31 January to 8 February 2009. This year, we are working with Actors for Human Rights to produce a special drama, Voices from the Edge, which tells in their own words the stories of people affected by homelessness and poverty in today’s Britain.

Be part of something huge.

• Run a church service on Homelessness Sunday (1 February) or Poverty Action Sunday (8 February) using extracts from Voices from the Edge.
• Use Voices from the Edge and our discussion guide for small group work reflecting on homelessness and poverty, in your church, school, house group or project.
• Put on a public performance of Voices from the Edge in your school, church or project.
• Come along to a professional performance of Voices from the Edge – or help us to organise one in your area!
• Encourage your church to get involved; uncover the reality of hidden poverty or homelessness in your community; celebrate what is already going on locally; make new links with others working on the same issues.
