Our annual UK Poverty report is the essential guide to understanding poverty in the UK.
The report sets out recent trends in poverty across the UK, how levels of poverty differ between groups of people and regions, and the impact it has on people’s lives. These findings can help us to understand the current situation and future prospects for poverty in the UK.
Be the first to hear the 2024 findings by joining us at the launch event in January, This will be a hybrid event so you have the choice to join in person in London or online via zoom.

The cost of renting crisis: housing subsidies and affordability in the UK
