The APLE Collective is a national collective of individuals who experience poverty. Working together with organisations that support us to take positive action to eradicate poverty.
Our aim is to create a sustainable, grassroots network across the UK to raise awareness of poverty, reduce stigma and work together with others to eradicate it.
Every year on October 17, people worldwide commemorate the International Day to End Poverty. This year’s theme is Dignity for all in practice: The commitments we make together for social justice, peace and the planet.
The APLE Collective (Addressing Poverty with Lived Experience) is a growing national collective of people and groups across the UK experiencing poverty. We exist to support each other and amplify the voice of marginalised people living in poverty, working alongside allies to take positive action to eradicate and mitigate the impact of poverty.
One of our key areas of focus is digital exclusion. COVID-19 has shone a light on the impact of digital disconnection and now the “digital divide” is set to widen with the cost of living crisis affecting many households.
Keep up with the APLE Collective through our monthly Newsletters.
From Volunteers Week to spotlighting our favourite organisations.
