The World Action Group exists to look at international issues and bring them to the rest of the United Church. These may be issues to do with development, justice or human rights. The group regularly arranges talks and social events. The group is responsible for setting up a 2 year project to help the church learn about a specific subject in more depth. This also has a fund-raising element to it.
The current project is The Philippine Community Fund. This organisation works amongst the communities living on the rubbish dumps of Manila. PCF works to improve the quality of life for the poorest Filipino communities, through education, nutrition, health, medical and family enhancement programs, regardless of religion, race or political boundaries. For more information about the positive work they are doing visit www.p-c-f.org.
