WestGAP supports people in surviving poverty, and challenges the systems that put people in poverty
in the first place and which keep them/us there.

We do this in a variety of ways :

We raise awareness and campaign on issues that matter to people living in poverty.

We offer anti-poverty awareness and benefits training.

We support research and contribute to policy on anti-poverty issues.

We provide practical help and support through our Advice and Information service.

We operate a Community Advice and Resource Centre where people can meet, and have access to a phone, the internet, photocopier, etc.

We support people to come together and to form groups around their own anti-poverty related issues.

We support other community groups and offer advice if requested.

We work in partnership with other organisations with similar interests, some small, some big.

and

We encourage, support and train other local people, to get involved in all of the above.

and rely on individuals, the local community, trusts and other organisations to support us financially.
