GENERAL ELECTION – CAFOD RESOURCES -
In the weeks to come, we’ll hear a lot about the issues political parties say voters care about. But as Catholics, we know that caring for the poorest and most marginalised people both here and overseas is among the most important issue politicians should act on. During the election campaign let us make sure our candidates hear about the issues that matter. See UK general election 2024: A guide for Catholic voters (cafod.org.uk)
If you would like to include anything in the newsletter, please ensure that we receive it by Wednesday of the week before to allow sufficient time for printing.
