Join Commission: hard listening, shared learning, different situations, similar struggles, forming friendship, creating bonds, building confidence, memorable launch event.

Good news.
Work continues, results assured, pledge releasing, lived experience embedding, ambition strong, legacy: Gateshead Poverty Truth Commission, 1.
