If you’re working on poverty issues in Wales and want to better engage with others in campaigning for change, this event is for you

What is it about?

Have you ever said or written something about poverty and found it doesn’t have the effect you’d hoped for – maybe even the opposite? Are you frustrated that your messages aren’t getting through, and that attitudes and beliefs about poverty never seem to change?

Join JRF and the Bevan Foundation, alongside other social change-makers in Wales, to find out how together we can talk about poverty in a way that can shift the public and political narrative. We’ll share research and experience, showing what the public believe about poverty, the pitfalls we need to avoid, and the opportunities for more positive conversations.

Why should you take part?

With the start of a new Senedd term upon on us and recovery top of the agenda, this timely event will bring together people from across the sector working on the issues, root causes and consequences of poverty in Wales. The evidence and insights from the FrameWorks UK will help the sector develop a united voice so we can all have the impact we want to solve poverty in Wales.

How to take part?

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation are hosting an online event over two mornings, made up of short sessions where speakers will share the approaches they have used to improve understanding of poverty, change the debate and advocate for solutions. Alongside the theory and evidence from our framing research, we’ll provide tips and advice on how to put framing into practice. At the end of the event, you’ll be ready to give it a try for yourself.

For a detailed agenda for both sessions and to book your place, visit the JRF’s website.
