Life on the Breadline is a three year multi-disciplinary ESRC-funded project analysing the nature, scope and impact of Christian engagement with urban poverty in the UK in the context of austerity since the 2008 financial crisis.
Final report published by @Alston_UNSR on UK poverty - finds austerity "a policy pursued more as an ideological than an economic agenda" as one 5th of people in UK live in poverty, #BreadlineResearch

Delighted that our @CTPSR_Coventry @ESRC Life on the Breadline project team were able to share initial insights from our #BreadlineResearch with UN Special Rapporteur @Alston_UNSR on his UK visit last November. Looking forward to the final report on UK poverty - out tomorrow.
I will be releasing the final report from my investigation into poverty in the #UK on Wednesday May 22 at 7:00am London. Email bmk375@nyu.edu for inquiries. More info and photos here: https://t.co/xI2g5eLrOG #UKPoverty 4

RT @ChrisShannahan: Our @CTPSR_Coventry @ESRC Life on the Breadline team agree with our @churchpoverty partner. A key question in our #BreadlineResearch is, therefore, 'What are Christians called to say when they speak truth to power in Breadline Britain?'
Christians urged to speak out louder against child poverty
