Did you know that poverty is not just a breakdown of financial resources, but often includes relational and mental health struggles?
When we understand the latest data on the causes and effects of poverty, we can use this to build more effective social action ministries that meet people where they are. With this insight, we begin to realise that many different types of community engagement ministries can have a role to play in tackling poverty, from church coffee mornings to specific support.
This month Nicole McKeever, Social Action Development Worker for the Diocese of Southwark, gives an introduction to the interconnected nature of the cause and effects of poverty. Together we will explore how this can help us respond in more effective and compassionate ways.
This webinar is for anyone planning a new project or involved with running or volunteering in any social action setting, whether that’s a food bank, debt centre, community café or coffee morning, warm space, winter night shelter, outreach to local care homes, asylum seeker support, etc.

How we build effective social action ministries that affirm the dignity and worth of all those we walk alongside?
Each month we take on a new topic, hearing from experienced practitioners and opening up a conversation amongst people across the diocese. Every webinar stands alone, so you’re free to attend the sessions most relevant to you, or come along to all of them.
All are welcome, whether you have years of experience in social action or are still in the planning stage.
Upcoming webinar topics include:
