Our objectives are:

• to raise public awareness of the extent of poverty in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire and to promote informed debate on the causes of poverty so as to encourage measures that could lead to understanding and the relief of poverty;
• to raise public awareness of the range of inequalities in incomes and wealth in the United Kingdom and through educational means to encourage support for a lessening of the financial, power and other inequalities between people;
•  to promote public understanding of the effects of low pay upon the quality of life of individuals or families who rely on low-paid employment;
•  to consider policies and measures that could improve the well-being of all persons living in the area;
• to consider what contribution greater equality could make to improving the well-being of all persons living in the area,economic development in the area and the quality of life for all inhabitants and the local communities.
