As part of Challenge Poverty Week, join us for Change the Story: Tackling Poverty Stigma in Practice, a 75-minute online session sharing practical ways to reduce poverty stigma in services.

The event will mark the launch of the Change the Story Commitment, a shared pledge to tackle poverty stigma across services, with its principles and values shaped by families. Making it Work for Families will present their co-designed Stigma Toolkit, showing how it can be applied in everyday practice. You’ll also hear national insights from The Poverty Alliance, and learn about new stigma training animations co-created with End Poverty Edinburgh and The City of Edinburgh Council.

You’ll leave with tools, examples, and resources to embed dignity-based practice and take action through the Change the Story campaign.

This work is supported through the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal.
