About this Event

Join Professor Martin Coppack from the University’s Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management will present insights on this pressing issue. In his previous role, as Director of Fair By Design, Martin also led the UK’s national campaign to eliminate the poverty premium.

He is joined by Liam Byrne MP, author of The Inequality of Wealth and Why It Matters, in a thought-provoking discussion to explore the root causes and the urgent need for change. The event will include opportunities for the audience to engage in the debate and share their perspectives.
