Poverty stigma is real. It causes harm. It is not inevitable. As people with lived, living, and learned experience, we are building understanding, shifting systems and creating the conditions for change.
WHAT THIS WORK IS
WHAT MIGHT A STIGMA FREE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
"A future where dignity is not a privilege. When people and communities have power, resources and real choice."

Stories & Resources
Five principles for our practice
The values that shaped how this work was done.
Abundance
Create conditions where people have the time, care and resources they need to participate and thrive.
Generosity
Make room for people and co-create systems for sharing knowledge and ideas, and redistributing resources, so that we can all thrive
Safety
Build conditions where people can participate with dignity, speak honestly and challenge harm without being put at greater risk.
Interdependence
Recognise that change is relational: we rely on one another, share responsibility and build through connection rather than isolation.
Freedom
Create space for real agency and choice, where dignity and worth are not conditional on productivity, compliance or deservingness.
