“Being on the Poverty Truth Commission has been enlightening, enjoyable & humbling. I've met wonderful people who have made me laugh, cry & examine who I am. I'm proud to have been part of this & hopefully to have made a difference now & into the future.” Civic Commissioner Vicky

In 2016 we made a film with Community Commissioner Geoff to share some of his story. As part of the 3rd Commission we updated this film to highlight why poverty can be experienced as a web. Here is Geoff's story... youtube.com/watch?v=vTjCmnNF…

Inspirational, practical, human and hopeful. Amazing to attend the virtual closing of @PTCLeeds So important that the truth of poverty is what we seek to tackle - and that’s only possible when we take time to listen and work together. #PovertyTruth

Though I’d add... not including everyone wastes time and resources and creates significant harm #PovertyTruth

“When you’re homeless, people speak to you like you’re worthless... when you get stuck thinking you’re not valued... it makes you think no one cares...if you live with negativity all the time... a little bit of kindness can make you feel different” #PovertyTruth
