Trafford Poverty Truth Commission

We are Trafford Poverty Truth Commission. The aim of a Poverty Truth Commission (PTC) is to give people who live in poverty a direct voice.

We had a small catch up this week and had to say a sad farewell to our Commission Kam, who is returning to Hong Kong. He has made a huge impact on all of us over the last year. Join us on 8th March to hear more!

🤝We held our last Commission meeting of 2022 yesterday! Our groups are making good progress & shared their recommendations with the wider group.
🎄We also made time to celebrate Christmas together, with food contributions from everyone - from sausage rolls to traditional sushi!

Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo of the session, but our Commissioners were brilliant today at This Is The North @PeoplesPowerhse! They expressed perfectly the process we’re going through and what is being achieved. 👏

[Trafford Poverty Truth Commission @PtcTrafford]

Our task groups worked incredibly hard today, we heard some brilliant discussions and our Community Commissioners said they really felt heard 💙. Plus we enjoyed some amazing Mexican food from our talented Community Commissioners!

[Trafford Poverty Truth Commission @PtcTrafford]

We’re really excited to be involved in a session along with some of our Community Commissioners! It looks like it will be a fantastic event.

[The People's Powerhouse @PeoplesPowerhse]

The team had a fab morning checking out the space ahead of #ThisIsTheNorth at @FriendsMtgHouse.

We can’t wait to see all you lovely Northerners filling this space in just 9 days time on 30th November!!!😱

We’re so excited to #LetThePeopleIn to the future of the North💗

@bengilchrist @HannanRuth @PeoplesPowerhse @povertytruthnet @TamesidePTC @TruthPoverty @salfordpoverty @GMPovertyAction Thanks for the mention, we’d love to meet and share what we’re doing. We’re based at Stretford Public Hall so local (as I think we’ve met informally at a Love the Lanes cycle!).
