4. How can churches respond to local and national poverty?
![Page 28: Poverty in Numbers](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816479550346895dd65d63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• 54% of parishes (more than 6,500) run organised activities to address at least one social need in their community.
• 82% of parishes (more than 10,000) have been asked for help and in response have provided informal support.
Source: The Church in Action, January 2013
Many churches are already active in their community.

But more social action takes place on council estates and inner city areas.
