“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good

put together that overwhelm the world.”

 ~ Desmond Tutu ~

Social justice is about treating every person with fairness, dignity and respect. It reminds us that everyone

matters, no matter who they are, where they come from or what their circumstances may be.

In everyday life, we see people facing hardship for many different reasons. Some struggle to afford food or

housing, others may feel lonely or forgotten, while some simply need the chance to improve their lives.

Social justice asks us to be aware of these needs and think about what we can do.

There are many practical ways we can make life a little better for others. Giving our time, sharing what we

have, standing up for someone who is being treated unfairly or simply noticing when a person needs

assistance are all ways we can make a difference.

Our Christian faith teaches us to love our neighbour and show compassion, especially towards those who

are vulnerable and dealing with challenging situations. When we treat others as we would like to be

treated, we contribute to a community where everyone has a place and the opportunity to move

forward in life.

Social justice begins with recognising the worth of every person and accepting our responsibility to

look beyond ourselves and consider the wellbeing of others.
