International Day to End Poverty 2022

The observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can be traced back to 17 October 1987. The commemoration of this day reflects the willingness of people living in poverty to use their expertise to contribute to the eradication of poverty. People of all backgrounds gather every year on 17 October to renew their commitment and show solidarity.

For October 17th 2022, we continued to ‘Light up the UK map’ to showcase all of the amazing activities taking place for #IDEP2021.
