Poverty Sunday

Poverty Sunday is a day set aside in the Church calendar to pray for people and communities affected by poverty in England.

Thanks to your support, Christian community heroes near you are reaching out to the homeless and the lonely; offering friendship and support to refugees and the elderly; helping young people get their lives back on track, and much more.
