Poverty Truth Network

Any talk about poverty must include people who experience the struggle against it. This is at the heart of the Poverty Truth Network. Our strapline captures this, ‘nothing about us, without us, is for us.’ We believe that better responses to poverty will be made if they include people who have experienced it in partnership with decision-makers and organisational leaders. By listening to each other, sharing wisdom and building empathy, trusting relationships are formed to have difficult conversations and find the way forward. Poverty Truth Commissions are places where those transformational relationships are formed and nurtured. The Poverty Truth Network supports this work.
