Church Action on Poverty is a national campaigning body, but also runs grassroots projects in local communities.
We give people a voice. By sharing the stories of real-life experts more widely, we can challenge the myths which stigmatise people in poverty.

We find new ways for art and creative practice to benefit the lives of people in towns and cities. Create London is an arts organisation that has pioneered working with artists to realise new social enterprises, charities and cultural spaces. We commission, curate and incubate long-term projects that are useful to society, supporting artists to work collaboratively with local communities. We reimagine the role of the artist in the city, working outside of galleries to find new and often surprising ways for art to become part of everyday life.
