How does Raising Voices, Changing Minds, Ending Poverty work? Raising Voices has worked with a steering group of community members based in Stoke-on-Trent, including Community Researchers, Expert Citizens, and Community Organisers. Each member brings their own experience and expertise when it comes to community issues. People have shared their own lived experiences of poverty and hardship to inform action and change. This way of working has been at the core of this project. The steering group have met 8 times since the first meeting in November 2021. We had 6 in-person meetings and 2 online remote meetings. Community members worked together with project staff to help steer the direction of the project and make decisions.
