The organisation has successfully campaigned for all the UK's major Christian denominations to support the Living Wage.
Previously, Church Action on Poverty ran the Living Ghosts campaign highlighting the destitution of asylum seekers in the UK.
Examples include participatory budgeting (which was taken up by the Labour government in 2007), sustainable livelihoods analysis, and Freirean popular education in the form of 'Schools of Participation'.
The Church Action on Poverty feels that billions of pounds of money is being used by public bodies without any involvement of local people.
'The People's Budget' campaign is about helping British citizens understand how to influence their local council, health organisation, police force or housing provider.
