Our impact

Backed by the support of our partners and stakeholders, we’ve developed a range of anti-poverty activities since we were set up in Greater Manchester in 2016.  

Resolve Poverty raise the difficult issues and challenge organisations to do more

A trusted advocate driving the agenda

Resolve Poverty provide principled and well-evidenced leadership in terms of tackling poverty

We influence the development and implementation by councils and other public bodies of anti-poverty strategies and the socio-economic duty.

We create spaces for a stronger focus on policy responses to poverty, such as our Annual Conference and North West Local Authority Officers’ Forum.

We develop programmes around boosting household income, including our Money Advice Referral Tool and Money Matters programme, which helps families to access benefits they don’t know they were entitled to.
