Guild Week
 |
This annual initiative, which began
in 2004, aims to encourage all members to promote
the Guild's work - both locally and nationally.
Local groups are invited to plan events or other
activities in their areas and communities. |
This initiative will be built on in the coming years to
provide an essential resource library for events across
the country to help celebrate this important event in
the Guild calendar. You can access our range of Guild
Week material on our dedicated extranet site for staff,
office bearers, those in the ministries and our members.

Make Poverty History
The Guild continues to be a strong voice in the international
Make Poverty History campaign to end poverty and unpayable
debts in poor countries around the world.
For information about our involvement in the Make Poverty
History campaign which gathered momentum in July 2005
when the G8 summit was held in Scotland, visit our Make
Poverty History page here.
