Beyond Leeds

Since the Scottish Poverty Truth Commission was established in 2009 the only other commission that has been held was our own in Leeds. That is all set to change this year, as Salford and Birmingham are the first of a new wave of commissions that will be established in other areas across the UK. We’re really excited about how this might develop into a movement of people with direct experience of poverty engaging in finding effective responses to poverty. One of our facilitators in Leeds wrote this for Church Action on Poverty who is one of the organisations co-ordinating the Salford Poverty Truth Commission. As things develop there we’ll keep up-dating you here.
