Walking Further Together - On Tour

Walking Further Together is an interactive exhibition of the lived experience of poverty, designed to challenge stigma and shape how we respond to the increased cost of living. The exhibition promotes a greater understanding of the struggle against poverty and how co-production can reinforce the ethos of 'Nothing about us without us is for us'.

Residents across the borough will now have the opportunity to drop in and see parts of the exhibition within west Cheshire's libraries. The exhibition on tour will include pieces of art, audio and visual displays. The session aims to be interactive and thought provoking, highlighting how we can walk further by doing things together.

The exhibition is aimed at anyone who is interested in the value of life experience, coproduction and working together with communities and individuals.

There will also be support and information available about local support services.

Comments from visitors to the exhibition

'No one should be deprived of their basic human rights. We should work collectively to end poverty and make people feel heard'

'Today's experience at the exhibition made me more empathetic, enlightened and privileged. I am inspired to give back to society and help people in need'

The exhibition has been developed as part of a recent collaboration between the Social Justice research team and Community Inspirers from the West Cheshire Poverty Truth Commission.
