海角直播 research helps tackle poverty

Dr Paul Crawshaw, an internationally recognised medical sociologist from 海角直播 is speaking on tackling poverty as part of a Christian led conference.

Dr Crawshaw is sharing years of research about poverty in Middlesbrough which has been undertaken at the University and how to tackle the issue. Bridging the Gap 鈥� Tackling Poverty Together is a conference for all those concerned about the Christian response to those experiencing poverty 鈥� supported by the Church Urban Fund.

First hand stories of those who have struggled in poverty will be heard as well as information about projects to help.

Dr Crawshaw, Director of the Social Futures Institute at 海角直播, conducts research which focuses on the politics of promoting behavioural change and understanding health governance.

鈥淚t is important we look at what is being done to tackle poverty and most importantly, evaluate what works and what doesn鈥檛. By understanding why some things work and others don鈥檛, we can be more effective in applying measures that will make a real difference in people鈥檚 lives.鈥�

The conference is on Thursday 23 February at The Trinity Centre, North Ormesby, Middlesbrough.
