Making Change Together
What becomes possible when people from communities, organisations, businesses and charities step away from the pressures of everyday life and spend a few days learning alongside one another?
They return with fresh ideas, renewed relationships and a deeper belief that change is possible!

Whether you are a Community, Civic or Business Commissioner either on a current or past Poverty Truth Commission, the Gathering offers an opportunity to think differently alongside people from across the UK who are committed to making change together. You’ll hear inspiring stories, wrestle with the big questions, strengthen relationships and discover practical ideas you can take back into your own organisation and community.
How to join us
Places are limited, so we’re inviting Commissioners to complete a short Expression of Interest form.
We’re keen to bring together a diverse group of people that reflects the full breadth of our movement, with participants representing different communities, experiences and roles from across the Poverty Truth Network.
If you’re interested in attending, please complete the Expression of Interest form below by Friday 14 August.
We’ll be in touch to let everyone know the outcome, shortly after the closing date!
