Our lives…inspiring change
It started with a question…
What if the people who have directly faced
poverty were involved in decisions about
poverty?
and led to a conversation
“Nothing about us, without us is for us”
Voices of Impact
“I’ve felt my voice was meaningless, that no one wanted to hear my ideas or even my wellbeing, but now, I am able to talk
more openly and know I am able to contribute well and my voice means
something”
“I didn’t have a home for me and my children or a settled school for
my children, but now I have a beautiful home and my kids are
very settled at brill schools”
“I didn’t think I could affect change, but now I can and I did - it has given me hope for the future”
“I never thought that my experiences would make a difference to others or change things, but now I’ve helped
people; I am setting up a peer support group and have helped make changes”
How We Live
Organisational impacts
“I’ve met brave and determined people who have inspired me to look for ways of making positive changes”
“I had poor work-life balance which was affecting my health, but now I
have better balance including less time in the office – and I am more aware of
this with my own staff and helping them to set a better balance”
A Fairer Future for all
