With @YorkPTC for their launch event. Powerful comparisons of Joseph Rowntree’s work in 1901 and the realities of poverty today. Startling figures, made even more powerful by real stories of living in poverty in York #povertytruthcommission

[York Poverty Truth Commission @YorkPTC]

If you are attending our launch tomorrow, don't forget to bring a tin of something to donate to a local foodbank!
