Facing the Challenge of Poverty in York
- 13,795 York people live in the 20% most deprived areas in the country with 4,575 children in poverty
- pay-gap increasing - trend towards poorly paid part-time work - increasing long-term and youth unemployment- least affordable city for housing in the region- disposable incomes are lower than UK and comparator cities and the
gap is widening - wide gap in life expectancy between richest and poorest
How do we become a more affordable city?How do we eliminate the stigma attached to
poverty?How do we become a living wage city?How do we address destitution?
So, what do we know?
So, what shall we do?
Delivering for the People of York
Facing the Challenge of Poverty in York
• a healthy city where we break the cycle between poverty, ill-health and reduced life expectancy
• a job-rich city providing job opportunities for all who can work with pay levels that tackle in-work poverty
• a money-wise city with joined-up advice for all and financial awareness is part of education from an early age
• an affordable city with a city-wide offer to help reduce living costs, and an adequate supply of affordable housing and childcare
• a supporting and giving city where tackling poverty is everybody’s business and poverty is not stigmatised and people know where to go for support
So, what is the vision?

• Listen - and enable those in poverty to have a voice
• Co-design – use ideas, capabilities and resources of those in poverty
• Foster and enable independence – stop trying to fix everything
• Change our beliefs and culture – work holistically and differently
So, how do our Systems Leaders enable a bottom up inclusive approach?
Stop talking down and start listening up!
