Poverty and Homeless Action Week
Breaking Barriers—Rich | Poor, Housed | Homeless, Rural | Urban, Employed | Unemployed, Bankers | The rest.
Our world is filled with barriers between people that prevent us from understanding one another.
Churches and community projects can break these barriers, challenge prejudice, and enable excluded people to live full lives, and build a fairer world.

Exploring Our Daily Bread
In a world where millions go hungry and an almost equal number struggle with obesity, this day will look at some of the issues involved. It will explore our relationship with food - where it comes from, how it is produced, how we can feed a world population of 7 billion and how we can adjust our patterns of growing, preparing and eating. A lunch of bread and soup will be provided, with a suggested donation of £10. 10.00-4.00 Hilfield Friary, near Dorchester.
