Come along to this session to find out more about deep poverty in Wales and what you can do about it.

What is it about?

The Bevan Foundation’s latest research shows that even before the pandemic around one in eight people lived in deep poverty, with around one in thirty having such a low income that they lived in destitution. The position has undoubtedly worsened since then.  

This seminar will provide an overview of the Foundation’s latest findings on deep poverty and destitution and give you an opportunity to hear about how some organisations on the front line are responding.  

This event is free to our subscribers.
