Group conversation
There are over 30 Poverty Truth Commissions (PTCs) across the UK, all supported by a national Poverty Truth Network. They bring together people with lived experience of poverty (community commissioners) and leaders (civic and business commissioners) within a city or region (in our case Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) to work together over 12-18 months to understand the nature of poverty, what some of the underlying issues are that create poverty, and to explore creative ways of addressing them.
