Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic, Rory talks to Louise Bayliss, Head of Social Justice & Policy with the St Vincent De Paul. 250,000 people sought support from SVP last year showing the scale of on going cost of living crisis. We discuss the stigma of poverty and its continued pervasiveness despite this country's wealth. The 11,000 volunteers with SVP shows hope in so many people working for social justice and giving practical support to people - a counter to the rising hate. We also discuss the cost of poverty, how investing in targeted measures is a social investment and overall health & economic cost saving in the long term.
