All We Can
The All We Can ‘lively square’ logo is intended to show the charity's energy and willingness to innovate. It is a statement that they refuse to be complacent or stand still. The square is at an angle to suggest that people’s lives are precarious, their quality of life ‘in the balance’ and [1] the movement of All We Can supporters, staff and volunteers going to do 'all we can' to help people in poverty fulfil their potential.
All We Can, formerly the Methodist Relief and Development Fund (MRDF), is an international development, relief and advocacy charity rooted in the Methodist Church in Britain.[2] Working through local partners, it helps people in the world's poorest communities through long-term development, humanitarian aid, and advocacy and campaigning activities.[2]
Its activities include:
- Emergency relief
- Campaigning against the causes of poverty
- Education and advocacy
Name
The charity's name derives from an apocryphal quote attributed to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism:
| “ | Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.[3] | ” |
