London Poverty Project

In partnership with Trust for London, iceandfire have embarked on a long-term project collecting testimonies of Londoners living in poverty. We are conducting in-depth interviews with a broad range of Londoners who are struggling with poverty in order to build up a human profile of what poverty in London looks and feels like.

Trust for London’s Poverty Profile website launched in October 2010 and includes case studies collected by iceandfire as well as short films telling some of the personal stories of people living in poverty.
