The Gendered Poverty Learning Programme invests in learning what works best to tackle gendered poverty. This programme is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
This programme is moving Smallwood from an outcome-based lens to a process focused lens, to derive learning and best practice that we will share to positively impact the women’s sector at different levels. It is also enabling our grant partners to tackle local systems of injustice and collaborate to make significant change for women in their areas. This page is our dedicated platform for sharing what we have learnt in our efforts to tackle gendered poverty alongside our partners on the frontline.

We also have our podcast: Unmasking Gendered Poverty where you can listen to conversations with different practitioners in the gendered poverty space as they share what they are learning and what approaches could help us to tackle gendered poverty together.
