We have been active since 1983 in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and County Durham. Here are some of the ways we’ve helped people in the region to escape the trap of poverty:
Five riverside communities used photography to tell their stories of ‘regeneration’ and present their agenda for a ‘good community’ or better life.
Young people from local communities used peer research to demonstrate barriers to employment.
We marked the 10th anniversary of the national Pilgrimage with a local event.
Walker community tackled conflict with help from the Quakers.
Groups met regularly with MPs in Wansbeck and Hexham, holding them to account for commitments about poverty and injustice.
Learning lessons from Martin Luther King for social change.
We supported people from Meadow Well when they gave evidence to the UN rapporteur at the Cedarwood Trust
