So we had a thought. What if we didn't ask people to push their round selves into any square holes? What if we asked people to fight poverty in their own way? After all, the more people get involved, the louder our voices. Before long we had people putting on gigs, making art, even breaking world records, all in the name of Bollocks to Poverty.
And it's not just events, there are plenty of things you do every day which can help us - from shopping, to surfing the internet, and maybe some things you've always wanted to do - like skydiving, running a marathon or helping on a development project abroad.
The idea is simple. Do something you love; help fight poverty.
Bollocks to Poverty events happen all over the UK. You can put on a gig, party or clubnight with us. Raise money, or awareness, or both. We'll give you help, advice, and lots of freebies to help you on your way.
From skydiving, to running, to visiting one of our amazing projects overseas. Theres loads of ways you can help us end poverty.
Are you a student? We can help your union throw the mother of all student nights, or we can help you to organise a rag raid to remember! Check out what you can do here.
Every year we visit major UK festivals including Reading. Sign up and help us reach thousands of new people in the ActionAid tent!
