Live Below the Line (UK)

The week of Live Below the Line is a week like no other. From 2-6 May, thousands of people across the UK will spend just £1 each day on food, and use their daily experiences to bring extreme poverty to the centre of conversation in homes and workplaces.

The week of Live Below the Line is a week like no other. From 2-6 May, thousands of people across the UK will spend just £1 each day on food, and use their daily experiences to bring extreme poverty to the centre of conversation in homes and workplaces. We'll all be challenged, we'll struggle without caffeine, and have a faint feeling of being not quite full for the whole week. We'll pool money with housemates, colleagues or family to make that one quid stretch just a little further...

We'll do all of this because whilst we choose to struggle to Live Below the Line for one week, there are 1.4 billion people who have no choice other than to do it every day.

Think about that figure - 1.4 Billion - that's over 20 times the population of the UK - living every day to live in the most abject poverty.

Gandhi said that "Poverty is the worst form of violence" - and we couldn't agree more. But it can be so hard to know how best to respond. That's where Live Below the Line comes in - so join us today.

Your participation will help us fundamentally change the way Britons think about the issue of extreme poverty, and raise crucial funds for UK charities that fight the root causes of poverty, and help developing communities break the cycle of poverty; Restless Development, RESULTS UK Think Global, Christian Aid or Salvation Army International Development.
