LAST week we shared our hopes for the future work of the
Poverty Truth Commission with people living in poverty. In our 'One year on' report we have also set
out our plans for our future work with organisations. To read the report, and other reports and
articles about the Poverty Truth Commission, please visit our website. A major area of work which we will develop over the next year is to continue and expand our support for organisations that would like to work in a similar way to the Poverty Truth Commission.
We recognise that our
involvement with organisations will vary – some wanting a lot of support whilst
others might need a shorter term involvement.
Since last year's Closing Gathering in April 2011 Commission members have continued to work closely with
a number organisations who pledged to carry on specific elements of our legacy work
to make sure that these pledges are delivered effectively. As the Commission starts to work in a new direction we continue to work
closely with some of these organisations as well as working with some new ones
including: Buttle UK, Just Fair and the Scottish Government.
Miriam Rose, Researcher for the Commission and the person leading in this area of work commented "The Poverty Truth Commission has demonstrated a
unique way of working together that has the potential to radically improve the
situation for people in poverty. We are keen to increasingly involve the real
experts on poverty in policy making at government level, designing and
evaluating services at local authority level and campaigning on poverty in the
third sector."
