Death and taxes are said to be the only certainties in life.
However even the young in Primary Schools can understand what happens to a society unable to use money from taxes to provide the utilities we enjoy in the UK.
It is these inequalities that the “Tax Justice Initiative” wants to address and thanks to the help of Paul Harrison, Vicar of Churchill, Blakedown and Broome, and Christian Aid, some schools in the Stourbridge deanery were offered the opportunity to learn about the problems which result from the inability to collect Tax.
The students were then able to take their petitions in support of Tax Justice and lobby their MP either in London or at school.
A total of six schools from the West Midlands took part in the project.
Four different MPs were approached which meant that they made a large significant impact in support of Tax Justice.
Please pray for all our schools and for those working to ensure people pay a fair amount of tax.
