Southport MP Damien Moore held a meeting with Southport Christians against Poverty to discuss homelessness, hunger, poverty, and other similar issues leading up to Christmas.
The national charity, which campaigns on the basis that nobody should be held hostage by debt and poverty, aims to release people in our nation from a life sentence of debt, poverty and their causes.
Through their services, which are all run through local churches, they are tackling poverty head on and aim bring freedom and good news to people in every community through 1,000 CAP projects by 2021.
Commenting, Damien Moore said:
“Christians Against Poverty do some fantastic work nationally and in the Southport community, and I welcomed the opportunity to meet with them as we head into the festive period.”
“Whilst Christmas is a wonderful time for many, there will be some within our communities who will be struggling, as a result of being held hostage by debt and poverty. Unable to feed their children, incapable of paying to heat their homes in winter, the grip of poverty is relentless, and it can break families apart, driving many to think that suicide is the only solution.”
“With this in mind, I support Christians Against Poverty and their campaign to bring unburden 1,000 people from poverty by 2021.”
