Demand an end to poverty this General Election
Will you sign our open letter to party leaders?
If you form a government, we urge you to implement the following changes within the first year: 1. Housing | Build more social and affordable housing, and commit to providing high-quality public services such as GPs, schools, mental health support as part of the community and build. 2. Health and Wellbeing | Provide universal free school meals to all school-age children, including outside of term-time. 3. Learning and Employment | Replace the increasingly punitive job-seeker benefits system, with back to work support mentorship, confidence building and realistic routes to sustainable employment. 4. Financial and Digital Inclusion | Outlaw high-interest credit and loans, and ensure access to affordable, equitable and fair replacements. 5. Environment and Community | Invest in reskilling workers in green energy, using the Just Transition criteria. Poverty is a manmade phenomenon. As political leaders, you have the power to re-invent the systems that keep it in place. Re-invention is the only route to dismantling poverty for good. If the electorate place our trust in you, do not pass up this opportunity to end poverty for good.
