Just rounding up my posts from the ECR Global Poverty Summit. If the 8-minute report was a little too long to watch, here is a much shorter version https://t.co/RosTfmpgGV which sums up the key lessons from the event. @ecr_gps @ECRGroup #poverty #endpoverty

We need to keep up the conversation on ways of tackling poverty with grassroots organisations. As Anusha Vamadeva from Eden On Earth pointed out there are so many ways of making a difference. Full event report here https://t.co/uaJ8y6yrvu @ecr_gps @ECRGroup #poverty #endpoverty

Last night I posted on here about the fact I raised the ECR Global Poverty Summit in the chamber of the @Europarl_EN I wanted to share the message of the event with fellow MEPs. This is a recording of what I said. #globalpoverty

I think everyone who attended the ECR Global Poverty Summit agrees the event must not be a one off & we need to keep spreading the message. I've been telling MEPs in the @Europarl_EN today about the impact of small, non-state bodies on poverty @ecr_gps #poverty #eu@ecrgroup

If conventional wisdom is struggling to get this figure down faster, we need to start thinking unconventionally. This is the purpose of the ECR Global Poverty Summit this month. What else could we be doing? Register at https://t.co/09eB7Hr5vX #poverty #endpoverty #exclusion

A key part of Conservatism is the belief we should actively help others find their own best path out of problems. My 2017 article here https://t.co/R6DYTSL2L0 "Compassionate Conservatism" will be among my points at https://t.co/09eB7Hr5vX #poverty #exclusion @Conservatives

One of the reasons why we need to have a Poverty Summit. This figure is double the average and higher than any other household type. Join me to discuss solutions by registering at https://t.co/tnbUQ1vZlr #ECRPovertySummit #endpoverty #poverty #singleparents #divorce

A key theme for me at the https://t.co/tnbUQ1vZlr will be the way we can change the world around us as individuals. I'm part of the Kitchen Table Charities Trust and I wanted to share my article about @KitchenTableCT again https://t.co/PpQPVFDScd #poverty #africa

Poverty is not just about money, it is about being able to take part in society. @DickCouvee will be bringing his extensive experience of working with people "in the margin of society" to the htttp://www.ECRGlobalPovertySummit.com #ECRGPS #endpoverty #poverty

I agree with Patrick Spencer @pspencerCSJ of the @CSJThinkTank, "A truly compassionate welfare system should seek to empower people". Very much looking forward to Patrick speak at the https://t.co/tnbUQ1vZlr in Jan. #ECRPovertySummit #endpoverty #poverty #socialmobility

The ECR Global Poverty Summit will challenge established thinking and come up with a report which, I believe, if put into practice, will have a significant impact on tackling poverty. Join me - https://t.co/tnbUQ1vZlr #ECRGps #poverty #endpoverty

[ECR Global Poverty Summit @ecr_gps]

The reasons for poverty are varied but when it comes to some of the specific causes the impact is clear. At https://t.co/tnbUQ1vZlr on Jan 26th, we'll be discussing many of the different factors and looking for new solutions. #poverty #civilwar #violence

In 2017, I entered an @iealondon essay competition. I proposed "Friendly Lending" platform which would help people find a way out of poverty. Ahead of the https://t.co/gWhOOnl7no, I wanted to share it again https://t.co/cvvqbH1P51 #ECRPovertySummit #poverty #financialexclusion
