North Northamptonshire will be funding Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire to host a Poverty Truth Commission specifically for the North in April of 2022.

Whilst the emphasis may be slightly different from that of the West (where a Poverty Truth Commission has been running since June 2021) we are hopeful that real life experience from individuals and communities will help to inform better Anti-Poverty Strategies, particularly in communities where levelling up is required.

If you live in the North of the County and wish to tell your story, please contact russell.rolph@voluntaryimpact.org.uk in the first instance.

If you are a community organisation that works with beneficiaries on the edge of financial vulnerability please talk to us about how we can get their stories heard and raise the profile of some very important and critical issues.
