| Annotation | In 2003, the National Consumer Council (NCC) published the findings of its focus group research with low-income consumers in deprived areas of Liverpool, Cornwall and London - including families with young children, people from black and minority ethnic groups (BME), and people with basic skills difficulties. Their experiences give a snapshot of what it is like to be a disadvantaged consumer. The research uncovers that goods and services are not meeting the basic needs of those who need them most: some 9.7 million people live below the poverty line (2004). This consultation pack looks at the changing nature of exclusion. It examines the key issues that policy-makers must address, along with solutions the NCC think will address the ways in which the poor pay more or get less. The aim is to inform possible collaborators on how they can help to further this area of NCC's work. (KJ/RH). |
