A six week course - ideal for Lent

Christian Aid created Act on Poverty with UK partners in the run up to the 2024 General Election.

We are refreshing the content ready to use for Lent 2025.

The course will help Christians gain a deeper understanding of poverty and get equipped to talk to political representatives about it.
