6 places, 41 people: Some of the UK’s unheard election voices
Our Neighbourhood Voices conversations have yielded some fascinating ideas and insights.
The UK needs to get serious about ending poverty. And to do that, we need to have meaningful conversations including a wide range of voices.
We should always strive to listen to a wide range of perspectives, but a General Election always brings that need into sharper focus.
In 2024, grassroots organisations supporting the Let’s End Poverty campaign have been hosting Neighbourhood Voices conversations.
We’ve heard about poverty, racism, health crises, dwindling opportunities for young people, food insecurity, hard-to-reach politicians, the failing benefit system, social services and much more. We’ve also heard incredible stories of community ingenuity, love and kindness, and the power of art and creativity.
Read the Neighbourhood Voices conversations below, and hear first-hand about people’s hopes, challenges and priorities.

Neighbourhood Voices: What next?
It’s not too late to join in. We’d love to see and hear more and more conversations happening after the Election. By amplifying the voices of people and communities living in deep hardship, we can help make ending poverty a priority for the next Parliament.
