and a petition

what they're
doing about the
refugee crisis'
Norwich SPEAK are focusing on the
climate campaign over the coming year,
and are making a strategic plan for the
group – we’re impressed!

Put your money where your mouth is
and make your giving go further for a just
world. Giving to charity is wonderful and
necessary – but charity treats the symptoms of injustice; campaigning to change
unjust situations tackles the cause, doing
more to free people from poverty than
our direct gifts to charity ever could!
It doesn’t take much money to run a campaign

win over injustice. We’d love to be able to
disengage completely from money. But – it
does take some. We want to be able to carry
on making campaign resources like Pray & Post
cards, pay our paid support workers a living
wage, run inspiring events for you, visiting
groups to share skills across the Network, and
more.
Could you afford to make a single, or better
still, a regular gift to SPEAK? £5 a month
from you would make a surprising amount
of difference to what we’re able to achieve
together!
If you can, please fill in and send back the
enclosed Loudspeaker card; if you can’t, please
consider passing it on to someone else who
could, or perhaps making an appeal at your
church.
