County Durham Poverty Truth Commission
‘Nothing about us, without us, is for us’.
County Durham Poverty Truth Commission, hosted by Durham Community Action, aims to respond to the question ‘what if people who struggle against poverty are involved in making decisions about tackling poverty?’
During 2024/25 they will work with people across Ferryhill, Shildon, Bishop Auckland and Newton Aycliffe to try to answer that question. They will bring together people with experience of poverty and senior civic and business leaders to collaborate on changes which will lead to better outcomes.
If you work in these areas, know people with experience of struggling with poverty who would be willing to share their story, and who want to bring about change please get in touch.
