Church Action on Poverty's Chief Executive Officer Niall Cooper is leaving this summer. For 28 years, Niall and this organisation have stood alongside people in poverty, working to reclaim dignity, agency and power together. 

Niall has built partnerships across the churches, communities and the charity sector, delivering real change. He helped Church Action on Poverty take the lead in initiatives like: the Pilgrimage Against Poverty; the Debt On Our Doorstep campaign that ultimately led to regulation of extortionate high-cost lenders; the Living Ghosts campaign that mobilised churches to stand alongside people seeking sanctuary; participatory budgeting; sustainable livelihoods; community organising; Self-Reliant Groups; Get Fair; End Hunger UK; and Let's End Poverty.

Join us online on 5 June to look back on those 28 years, thank Niall for his dedication to ending poverty in the UK, and wish him all the best.

Or just make a donation to Church Action on Poverty of £28 - a pound for every year Niall has spent here!
