This autumn, Christian Aid and Church Action on Poverty are joining forces to take their campaign for tax justice on the road with a seven-week tax justice bus tour.
The red London bus will tour the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to promote a simple message: that “it’s time for tax justice for the poorest communities at home and globally”.
"In an age of austerity and spending cuts, tax avoidance is morally unacceptable: tax dodging costs lives," the organisations say. "It effectively amounts to robbing the poor – in the UK and in poor countries – of the money that should be spent on education, health and welfare."
Tour dates are as follows: Greenbelt, Cheltenham (August 24–28), West Midlands (August 29–30), South Wales (August 31-September 2), South West (September 3-8), London and South East (September 9-17), East of England and Oxford (September 18-21), Midlands (September 22-24), North Wales (September 25-26) Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (September 27-30), Scotland (October 1-5), Cumbria/North East (October 6-9), Yorkshire (October 10-11) and the North West (October 12-14).
