Description

“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.” Maya Angelou

This event brings an opportunity to reflect on citizenship and belonging. Falling as it does in Poverty Action Week, we will move beyond bullet points and recommendations to a call for action and solidarity with those in our communities who are homeless, poor and marginalised.
