Poverty and Homeless Action week 2012 will be marked this week by Adullam Homes Housing Association Limited based in Congleton who intend to ‘break barriers’ about homelessness in the area.
Poverty and Homelessness Action week is jointly organised each year by Church Action on Poverty, Housing Justice and Scottish Churches Housing Action. It includes two Sundays traditionally marked by many churches with services and collections: Homelessness Sunday and Poverty Action Sunday. The theme for Action Week 2012 is ‘Breaking Barriers’.
Adullam’s Cheshire and Staffordshire housing and support services that provides housing shelter in Congleton will be holding events across the town to highlight this campaign which kicked started on Saturday 28 January and lasts until Sunday 5 February 2012.
From Wednesday 1 February Adullam’s Cheshire women’s services will be holding a cooking day while sharing tips on how to cook on a budget.
On Thursday 2 February in partnership with The New Life Church in Congleton a coffee morning with exhibition displays highlighting the need to eradicate homelessness and poverty and will be attended by the Town Mayor, Doug Parker.
The week long events will end with a special church service arranged with the New Life Church on Sunday 5 February where special prayers will be said in attempt to break down the barriers created by poverty and inequality.
Tony Lewis, Adullam’s Cheshire and Staffordshire services area manager said: “Adullam has always supported this campaign and we hope the events will educate our audience in the difficulties faced by those that are suffering from poverty and homelessness. These events will also provide us with a platform to showcase the variety of services Adullam provides for the most vulnerable in society and helping them lead independent lives.”
