People’s Voice Media’s has joined forces with Stockport Council to unearth the relationship between poverty and work. Working with the neighbourhood development team, we have equipped them with the skills to be Community Reporter Trainers and Curators, and supported them to recruit and skill-up local people as Community Reporters.

As part of the project, the Reporters gathered stories about people’s experiences of work and poverty and worked with the team to curate the stories into a set of findings published in a report. These findings were then used by People’s Voice Media in a Conversation of Change workshop to generate ideas for tackling some of the issues. The ideas generated in this session are being developed into a pilot project that we are supporting via our co-creation practices. You can hear more about this project by watching the case study video below.
