PeacockPoverty is a collective of individuals with an experience of poverty who join together to share knowledge, strength, talent and wisdom with each other and friends.

The collective is autonomous, independent of agency affiliation, by and for poor people and friends.

We believe that each voice has a right to be heard regardless of economic status, education, priviledge or favour. We challenge existing barriers.

We believe that poor people have historically contributed much to the wealth of the land without receiving this wealth or any credit for producing it.

We believe in each other and our community.

We believe in the helping hand at the end of our arm and extend it to those still suffering alone without a voice.

We believe we can change the mind and heart of the public through our display of talent, skill, resourcefulness and goodwill.
We believe that in doing so we can even change ourselves.
