Week of Action, 11th-18th October 2019

Over this week people are coming together to mark the launch of the new End Hunger UK campaign. Over 40 groups will be taking the message to the government that they need to ACT NOW TO END UK HUNGER.

You can take part by organising a really simple photo stunt.

Join 40+ groups around the country who are taking their photos in orchards, in front of cathedrals, next to a castle, in a school, by Kings Cross Train Station, on Tower Bridge, and on top of memorials!

Print off the letters that spell out ACT NOW TO END UK HUNGER, gather some people in front of a local landmark, and then take a photo. It is that easy!

Then send it to your local media and put it on Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday 16^th October, which is World Food Day. Follow the links below for everything you need (including a guide for how to contact local media.)

Organise a photo stunt

Bring a group of people together in front of something that is recognisably in your town (even if it’s only recognisable to locals!) – a local landmark, building, or green space.
Hold up letters that spell out ACT NOW TO END UK HUNGER. (Click the button to download printable letters from our Resources page. It is best to print them on A3 paper, and to laminate them if you can. If you would like us to send you a laminated set, just get in touch!)
Take a photo.
