As hosts of the Poverty Truth Commission in West Northamptonshire, Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire (VIN) has been conducting an ongoing Poverty Truth Survey on the issues affecting individuals within our communities. The latest results can be viewed here

The survey will continue, and we encourage people to take 5 minutes to complete the questions. The information provided will help to inform the Anti-Poverty Strategy currently taking place in the West.

While the sample is still small, the responses are worrying, particularly the number of people who are genuinely concerned about how they will cope or are living on the edge of financial vulnerability.

If individuals want to tell their story in more detail, then please let us know at info@voluntaryimpact.org.uk. We will ensure the story gets the profile it deserves.

If community organisations know of people who might want to tell their story of vulnerability, then please contact us and we will take the process further with the identified individual.

We all know that poverty and mental health will be the two largest issues to face our communities in the near future.

Help VIN to get these stories heard.
