Worthing Churches Homeless Projects.
An interview I conducted with ex-fundraising manager Alison Godfrey (the ex-Fundraising and Public Relations Manager for Worthing Churches Homeless Projects) in 2006 while I was working for Durrington High School. We discuss a variety of aspects of their work in the town. We also explore causes of poverty, her views on being rich and prejudicial attitudes. The notes are below.
Notes:
1. What is this charity?
2. Is homelessness a problem?
3. Bag lady jokes?
4. Who will become homeless in the current year 10 at DHS?
5. Reasons for Homelessness?
6. What should our attitude to Homelessness be?
7. Where do Christian beliefs come into this?
8. What causes poverty?
9. What are our basic human needs?
10. Who should care for the poor?
11. How good is the Worthing community compared to other places?
12. Is the Lottery good or bad?
13. Is this just a job for her?
14. Are big wages fair?
15. Last words?
