More than half (51 per cent) of people polled said they would donate to a charity that that aims to tackle the problem of concern to them, while 19 per cent of respondents said they regularly support a campaigning charity.
Only 6 per cent of those polled were members of a political party while 13 per cent attended a church or faith group. Trade union membership stood at 17 per cent.
"It is very encouraging that such a large proportion of people regard poverty, hunger and disease as matters of real importance - rather than just something that happens to people in poor countries," said Ms Beynon.
"And it is also encouraging that so many are prepared to take action to help tackle issues of importance to them by using their votes and signing petitions."
Ms Beynon said that Christian Aid would work to reach the 51 per cent who would not consider meeting or writing to their MP. She said they "may either lack the confidence, or just don't know how to set about arranging such a meeting".
She told political parties to take notice of the issues concerning people.
"There is a lesson here for people actively involved in politics," she added.
"Churches, faith groups and campaigning charities have the support of more than a third of the population (32 per cent) while political membership in the poll stood at just six percent.
"Politicians need to listen to the issues that concern people and act accordingly. Sixty five per cent of those polled said they would vote for a party tackling a cause dear to their heart."
The Transformation events will be joined by decision makers such as MPs and MEPs and run workshops on effective lobbying.
They will also challenge participants to start campaigning immediately by asking them firstly to take a 'Countdown to Copenhagen Pledge', which commits them to campaigning for a fair international agreement on climate change at a meeting of governments in the Danish capital in December 2009.
Christian Aid says the agreement "must enshrine the developing world's right to economic development" and "should require rich countries, which are overwhelmingly responsible for the climate crisis, to supply the funding and technology that developing countries need for clean development".
