We dare to dream of Leeds as a city that is free from poverty. 

Since 2014 we have been working to bring those with direct experience of the struggle against poverty together with civic and business leaders from a wide range of organisations in the city.

We believe that it is only when those who are directly affected by poverty are involved in decisions about poverty that lasting change will happen, working from the guiding principle that – Nothing about us, without us, is for us.

On these pages you are able to discover more about the current work of Leeds Poverty Truth including updates on our fourth Commission and our Resourcing the City work that supports organisations, institutions, and communities to adopt a ‘poverty truth’ approach within their work and place. You will also find stories about some of the impacts and ripples of our work and a wealth of resources we have produced over the years.

We invite you to explore our website, learn more about our work, and contact us if we can offer any support on your own journey toward a poverty-free Leeds.
