Trafford Poverty Truth Commission engagement event

Stretford Public Hall is establishing Trafford’s first Poverty Truth Commission. This important project will bring together people in poverty with those in senior positions within the private, public and voluntary sector. The process gives people in poverty a chance to share their ‘lived experience’ of poverty. The commission aims to drive real change to prevent and alleviate poverty, by giving those in poverty a chance to make their voices and experiences heard.

Following successful Poverty Truth Commissions both nationally and in Greater Manchester, we’re delighted to be bringing this opportunity to Trafford. We hope you’ll join us.

Come along and find out more about the Trafford Poverty Truth Commission. At this event, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Learn more about the purpose of Poverty Truth Commissions and how they work
• Hear directly from participants in Poverty Truth Commissions delivered elsewhere
• Find out why we are setting up a Poverty Truth Commission in Trafford
• Get the information you need to decide whether being part of the Poverty Truth Commission is right for you and your organisation

Speakers include representatives from the Poverty Truth Network, Commissioners from the Manchester Poverty Truth Commission and Cllr Graham Whitham (Executive Member for Communities and Partnerships, Trafford Council).

You can also meet the Trafford Poverty Truth Commission Team, who will be on hand with information on how you might get involved.

Refreshments will be available and the event will be recorded.
