As women face unprecedented poverty, we demand increased financial and social investment in women. Women's orgs receive less than 2% of UK grant funding, despite being over 50% of the population. Support a National Women's Fund by signing change.org/womensfund #Investinwomen

Imagine the change we could achieve together if MPs really took the time to listen & learn from the experiences of those in communities & used this to inform policymaking. In #Swansea for the next couple of days with @povertytruthnet where we'll be considering this question. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

📉 With the last sustained fall in poverty now over 20 years ago, it's high time to turn back the tide on #UKPoverty. 🕰️ The public can’t wait another 20 years, so we are demanding our political leaders tell us exactly what the plan is. What do you think?
