Since September 2021, two dozen people have been meeting to change the story of poverty in Oldham for good. They include from residents with experience of poverty and hardship, as well as those with the power, authority and influence to do something about it.
Starting out with their stories, and understanding each others perspectives, they've built up a rich picture of the experience of poverty in Oldham - and what we can do about it. At this event, you are invited as someone else with a stake in the story of Oldham to discuss the ideas which have emerged and how we all make them happen. Read more here
