📣 While the cost-of-living crisis tightens its grip on communities across the UK, we have launched a new project with @jrf_uk to understand practice already underway in local areas to tackle deep poverty and destitution and what more could be done in the future. 🧵 We’re exploring how place-based approaches in local areas can offer practical solutions – and we want to hear from you!
