Poverty and Homelessness Action Week

Our world is filled with barriers between people. Barriers that prevent us from understanding one another. They are created by unfair benefits rules and inadequate wages, by the stigma attached to being poor or homeless, and by the growing gap between rich and poor. Churches and community projects can break these barriers. They can challenge prejudice, enable excluded people to live full lives, and build a fairer world.
Help break barriers during Poverrty and Homelessness Action Week 2012. Resources will be available from September 2011 at www.actionweek.org.uk.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
