The closing event for the 3rd Leeds Poverty Truth Commission has just begun. The cumulation of 18 months work. It has been humbling to be part of the Commission. leedspovertytruth.org.uk/2021/01/04/you… PovertyTruthLeeds #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

“Including everyone takes time and resources” #PovertyTruth

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

Inspirational, practical, human and hopeful. Amazing to attend the virtual closing of PovertyTruthLeeds 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

Real privilege to hear the closing event for Leeds Poverty Truth third cohort. Shared stories of lived experiences of poverty and connections with people of influence in the city bringing tangible change to make Leeds a more compassionate and kind city. Great work!@PTCLeeds

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=vTjCmn…

Civic Commissioner Mandy adds her reflections to the Leeds Poverty Truth blog today following our closing event last Friday... leedspovertytruth.org.uk/2021/01/20/sys… #povertytruth

“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
