Adequate income – social security and work
Challenging poverty must start with recognition that everyone should have adequate income to live on.
Tuesday 17 October 2023
Food insecurity and hunger
Too many Londoners are living with the fear of not being able to afford to feed themselves and their families. Access to food is a basic human right which should be upheld.
Wednesday 18 October 2023
Childcare and Education
Exorbitant childcare costs are a key driver of poverty for families in London. Everyone should have access to high quality education from the early years.
Thursday 19 October 2023
Poverty, dignity and discrimination
The experience of poverty is often compounded by discrimination, which undermines human dignity. Challenging poverty also means challenging discrimination in all its forms.

Homes, communities and volunteers
Having a secure and affordable home in a safe and thriving community should be the experience of all Londoners.
