The first animation in the Life on the Breadline research has been published –

Life on the Breadline: the impact of austerity


Austerity affects people’s daily lives, and is affecting UK society unequally. Austerity is not just a social problem, it is a spiritual issue. Has the Church responded effectively to austerity measures in the UK?

Watch the animation below:

Animation – Life on the Breadline: The impact of austerity

Churches are responding practically to UK poverty, but there is a lack of theological reflection on austerity and poverty. In Life on the Breadline we are exploring this issue in order to shape the debate in policy and churches.

The animation is also available on the Resources page of the website and is available to use in teaching, worship, and workshops. If sharing the animation on social media, our project hashtag is #BreadlineResearch
