The surge in demand and more complex needs are pushing our church to its limit.

The problem

UK poverty is at a critical level. The number of people in need of help has surged, and it’s getting harder to meet the rapidly growing need.

People’s circumstances are more complex than ever. For many, life has become just about surviving. Our church partners across the UK are doing all they can to support local people, but it’s getting harder and harder. There’s so much need, and churches like Ruth’s are being pushed to the limit.

The solution (that’s where you come in)

The surge in poverty requires an equal and urgent surge in response. It’s time to act and make sure we can reach every person who urgently needs our help.

To meet the increasing need, we must double the number of people we can see through a growing network of churches. To make the necessary changes now, we must raise £1.9 million. Otherwise, we’ll be forced to turn away more and more people in urgent need.

If you give today, your gift will also be match-funded by generous supporters, doubling the impact you make.*

Please, will you donate today? Your gift could help us meet the demand for our services at this crucial time, so we can see people go from fighting to survive to living life in all its fullness.
