Church Action on Poverty (CAP) Sunday takes
place on the last Sunday before Lent each year.
This year, CAP is asking churches to speak truth to
power, especially when too many are struggling to
make ends meet across the UK.
CAP has a vision of a fairer world with a smaller
gap between rich and poor and works to make that
vision a reality, by empowering people in poverty to
overcome the injustices they face, and equipping
churches to work alongside them.
Martin, a single parent from Halifax, like thousands
of others, has been struggling on Universal Credit:
“I just snack, I don’t eat proper meals. The children always come first and I just eat
small bits here and there. If I’m in the house on my own all day, I’ll tend not to eat
until 6 or 7 o’clock, if at all, and I know that I can keep food in the cupboard a bit
longer, that’s another day of survival.
Today is a day to give, act and pray to make a difference to those in poverty.

Pray for all whose who are
struggling below the poverty
line and for the work of CAP
across our diocese
