Title: Building public support for eradicating poverty in the UK (Summary Findings)
The Skinny: New from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation this report focus’ on:
- successful ways of building public support for tackling UK poverty, including the use of ‘real life’ stories, for example;
- explores how organisations measure the effectiveness of their initiatives;
- finds that only few initiatives explicitly aim to build public support for the UK poverty agenda – and these initiatives tend to change perceptions and behaviour rather than attitudes; and
- argues that the term ‘poverty’ needs to be clarified, and possibly avoided when first engaging people.
