Our vision is that the UK can and must be transformed into a country where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.
Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. We believe that our vision – an end to poverty in the UK – can become a reality.
Our goal over the 10 years 2020-30 is to build a powerful social movement rooted in principles of dignity, agency
and power, committed to realising this vision together.
We work with people, communities and churches struggling against poverty to reclaim dignity, agency and power.
