Hull Poverty Truth Commission
Engaging people and communities in service design
Our Poverty Truth Commission booklet – What Help Is Out There?
Project Introduction
The Poverty Truth Commission in Hull is part of a national network of projects to improve the lives of people living in poverty
Hull's PTC brings together people with lived experience of struggling against poverty and decision-makers from civic and business life. Together this group explores local issues that are impacting on people's lives and work in partnership to tackle them
What we do

- Recruiting and supporting community commissioners with lived experience
- Recruiting and supporting civic commissioners from the public, voluntary and private sectors
- Facilitating relationship-building based on trust and deep listening
- Supporting the identification of local themes and priorities
- Helping those involved to find solutions together
