APLE is a national collective of individuals and organisations with lived experience of poverty.
Our aim is to create a sustainable, grassroots network across the UK to raise awareness of poverty, challenge the stigma surrounding it and contribute to its eradication. As a network, we promote the voices of those with lived experience of poverty and we work collaboratively with others to influence change.
The APLE Collective’s groundbreaking “Light Up The UK Map” campaign, aims to showcase the incredible efforts being made to tackle poverty and commemorate the International Day to End Poverty 2023 (IDEP). This initiative boldly brings together individuals with lived experiences during IDEP, ensuring their voices are heard loud and clear. Through the power of an interactive map, this campaign vividly illustrates the extent of solidarity and hard work taking place nationwide. Don’t miss out on discovering the awe-inspiring events happening near you!

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 voices 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.
Join APLE Collective’s campaign to end UK poverty and become a shining star in the fight for a fairer, more sustainable UK. On October 17th, the International Day to End Poverty, APLE Collective will spotlight the fantastic work being done by those with lived experience of poverty. Let’s orbit around poverty and light up the UK map with APLE Collective’s mission. With a national collective of individuals and organisations who have experienced or are experiencing poverty, you too can be a part of this inspiring movement and be over the moon with pride!
