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.
Six ways to help fight poverty with us.
