Is poverty inevitable in the UK?

A Justice Seekers conversation, 7:30pm Monday 15 January on Zoom

14.4 million people in the UK are currently experiencing poverty, and 3.8 million people are now living in destitution, without the basics to keep warm, dry, clean and fed. Despite many committed thoughtful people having devoted their lives to tackling poverty and economic marginalisation in one of the world's most prosperous countries. Is there actually another way, or must we learn to live with Jesus warning that "the poor will always be with you"

Join us for a conversation – whether you consider yourself to be a lonely prophet, committed activist, qualified by experience, or don't know what to say. Just come ready for honest questions and respectful listening.

With Mark North (Founder and CEO Freedom Community Project), Hannah Freemont Brown from Let's End Poverty and Deacon Alison McCauley from Barnsley Circuit.

Who are we?

The Justice Seekers community is open to anyone who yearns to live in a more just world, whether your primary passion is for your local neighbourhood or more global concerns.

We meet in hybrid or gathered form every two or three months to focus on specific justice issues, and between this communicate via email.

We share encouragements and laments, learn from each other's experiences and ideas, and seek opportunities for collaboration and coalition-building.

We will learn from each other and prove that The "Kingdom of God is justice and joy".

Recent areas of focus have included the climate and cost of living crises. Whether you are a seasoned activist, lonely prophet, or wondering where to start, you will be most welcome.

For more information, to join the community or for news of our future events contact Neil Harland mission@sheffieldmethodist.org
