The conference will combine sessions with presentations and Q&A, and interactive workshops.  The anticipated audience for the conference is theology and social science academics, church leaders, and practitioners in church and poverty response settings.  The majority of sessions are aimed at all three audiences, and the target audience will be noted alongside each session in the forthcoming conference programme.

The conference programme will be published on this webpage in Spring 2021, and further resources from Life on the Breadline will be added to the resources section throughout 2021.  

Sessions at the conference will include presentations from the Life on the Breadline project team – Chris Shannahan, Robert Beckford, Peter Scott and Stephanie Denning – on the research findings, interactive workshops on research poverty, asset-based community development, and Black Church responses to austerity, and guest speakers Dr Naomi Maynard (Together Liverpool) and Professor Anthony Reddie (University of Oxford and University of South Africa).  At the conference we will also be launching the Anti-Poverty Charter which is being developed in consultation with research participants in the Life on the Breadline research.
