At CAP, we want to see lives transformed and free from debt, and an end to poverty in the UK.
That’s why, as well as providing support through our practical services, we commission research into poverty in the UK to give an insight into the realities that people across the UK face.
Everyone deserves to enjoy life in all its fullness, so we won’t stop until we see an end to poverty in the UK.
What is national polling?
We ask questions to a representative sample of the UK population (usually around 2,000 adults). The questions might include topics around a person’s experience of debt and poverty or an opinion on a relevant subject.
How we use our polling data
We commission multiple rounds of polling each year. Each round of polling has a different focus, but each round generates insights into the current realities of poverty.
Using this data alongside the experiences our clients are facing and information from our services, we’re able to see a thorough picture of the reality of poverty in the UK. We can speak confidently about the steps needed to address the drivers of debt and poverty and inform decision-makers of the changes that could help address the systems and structures trapping people in poverty.
