The Edinburgh Poverty Commission is working throughout this year to define the steps the city needs to make to reduce, mitigate, and prevent poverty in Edinburgh.
In the first phase of our work we gathered evidence and heard people’s experiences around the theme of ‘Pockets’ – the pressures that keep incomes low and living costs high for people in Edinburgh. The findings we received from that work are now published and available for comment and feedback.
In the second phase of our work, we are focusing on the theme of ‘Prospects’ – what we can do to improve the life chances of people who are experiencing poverty and low income. To help us, we want to hear from individuals and organisations across the city who have experience of living with or supporting people facing these issues.
We want to hear your thoughts on how poverty affects people’s lives and opportunities. We also want to hear about ways the city can do more to reduce those impacts, and improve life chances for people struggling to get by in Edinburgh.
So we are issuing a second ‘call for evidence’ with four questions to which we are seeking responses.
Our ask to you is to give us your thoughts and responses to these questions, either using the form attached or by visiting our consultation pages at:
