HomePoverty and Inclusion Programme
Tackling Poverty
Tackling poverty and deprivation is fundamental to the mission of the Trust. We believe that many communities have the resources, skills and creativity, if given the chance, to find solutions to poverty and ways to generate and keep money within the local community. We are also concerned that in a time of economic decline many are forced to find short-term solutions that will result in long-term debt and exploitation.
We are open to new ideas of community responses to tackling poverty but we will also consider projects that focus on:
- supporting people to find ways out of poverty that build skills, confidence and opportunities;
- enabling people to access safe finance;
- supporting people to generate and keep wealth within communities.
You can only apply for this programme if your project is based in the West Midlands.
