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.
Life in @RishiSunak's Britain for people living in poverty - punishment not housing justice. Tory arrest of almost 2,000 rough sleepers is a national disgrace #BreadlineResearch

Austerity rumbles on and on. Wages stagnant for 15 years plus punitive welfare and spending cuts and we wonder why poverty still damages so many people in the UK - Our @CTPSR_Coventry @ESRC #BreadlineResearch remains depressingly relevant.

Tragically our @ESRC @CTPSR_Coventry Life on the Breadline research into Christian responses to resurgent austerity age poverty is just a resonant in Rishi's Britain as it was under Boris - We need real change not more foodbanks. #BreadlineResearch https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/feb/26/uk-benefits-fall-short-of-minimum-living-cost-by-140-a-month-charities-say?CMP=share_btn_tw
