The System

In partnership with Sheffield Poverty Truth Commission

Sheffield’s Poverty Truth Commission has been meeting for over a year, listening to the stories of local people and their experiences of poverty. “The system” is a theme that comes up time and time again. In this event we’ll explore what it is and whether it works. Hear local people share stories and have your say, with a panel facilitated by Ryan Wileman (Salvation Army), Andy Freeman and Zara Makinta (Space to Breathe).
