The APLE Collective is a national collective of individuals who experience poverty. they work with organisations that support them to eradicate poverty.
The aim of the organisation is to create a sustainable network across United Kingdom to raise awareness of poverty, reduce stigma and work with others to fight against poverty
They respect the digity of people from all backgrounds and they promote equality and diversity values in their work. The idea is to work together at a national, regional or local level to promote the voice and influence of people with lived experience of poverty, so that they have power over decisions that affect them.
They carry the voice of people with lived experience of poverty, but work with others in society to use that voice to bring about change.
