37 days to Homeless Sunday... View this email in your browser How are your plans coming along for Homeless Sunday? We are very excited in the Housing Justice office about all the great things happening next month. And it's not too late, to get involved!  Homeless Sunday is an annual opportunity for Christians to come together to listen to what God has to say about homelessness.  With the three themes of Connect, Challenge, and Commit, we invite churches, like-minded groups and individuals across Great Britain to reflect on, and address the problems of, homelessness. One of the great things we would encourage you to do is pray!  We have written a prayer for you to use as you prepare for Homeless Sunday or on the day itself. Why not purchase one or more prayer card packs to encourage your church members to pray alongside us? Whether you're a church leader or a member of a local local church, FREE resources are ready for you to download now.  Indeed, one great way to commit to Homeless Sunday is to help us disseminate resources among churches in your town. For many years now, friends in Rugby have been doing just that, and ordered large numbers of our prayers cards, flyers and posters for distribution. Please remember that you can also: invite a member of the Housing Justice team to come and speak to your Homeless Sunday service on 24 January - simply email us! find out what your local authority is doing to combat homelessness - simply visit their website and look up the housing section encourage your congregation to commit to tackling homelessness - simply visit a local project, write to local politicians, raise funds *** SPECIAL EVENT *** An evening of Music, Singing and Poetry St Lukes Church - Hillmarton Road - London N7 9JE being a fundraiser for Homeless Sunday To book your tickets, please visit the dedicated page here >>>   On 24 January 2016, Christians, and all who care, will Connect, Challenge and Commit - make sure you're ready!   Copyright © 2015 Housing Justice, All rights reserved.

Custard Creams Are Cheaper Than Cous Cous, But You Can't Expect A F&**!! Baroness To Know That

Food for thought about food poverty and healthy eating... a blog posted a year ago... (not by me!)

 

WARNING contains some rude words....

 

 

Anyone who claims that healthy food is a cheaper option has clearly never enjoyed the dubious nutitional delights of a pack of Everyday Value Custard Creams (35p, 1,972 calories).

Give a gift that will last this Christmas

Donate Now Dear Greg A recent survey of nearly 2,000 church leaders found that loneliness was the most significant social problem facing local communities*. Sue knows the value of a supportive community. She has been a beneficiary of HOPE, a Church Urban Fund-supported project in Nottingham. When she was at her lowest it was through her local community networks that she found the support to get back on her feet again. She says…   "I just love what HOPE are doing for people. They are there to put people in the right direction. I see people coming through the door in desperation and then they're going out that little bit lighter. That was me all those years ago." Sue now volunteers at HOPE and in her wider locality using her experiences to support others through the situations she has faced. Could you help us with a gift today that could help a church- or community-project so they can reach out to people looking for help and support like Sue once was? Your gift could help to make a world of difference to someone who finds themselves at the margins of society, and last long after the Christmas tinsel has come down.  Donate Today Thank you for caring Canon Paul Hackwood Executive Chair of Trustees Thank you if you have already made your gift. *http://cuf.org.uk/sites/default/files/PDFs/Research/Church-in-Action-Exec-Summary-2015_0.pdf This is a true beneficiary testimony.
