POVERTY TRUTH NETWORK

The Poverty Truth Network supports local groups to establish new Poverty Truth Commissions across the UK; nurtures the work of local commissions; provides a strategic national response to factors that contribute to poverty that consistently emerge from the local commissions; and engages with a wider movement of organisations and programmes that seek to alleviate poverty in all its forms.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
