Building Our Future Together

Click here to view: Annual Review 2025

Over the past two years, our goal has been simple: to make ATD Fourth World even stronger while keeping up with the world’s new challenges. This past year has been one of transition, transformation, and, above all, deep connection.

We have started an exciting journey to rethink how we work by merging our two main programme areas: Together in Dignity and Giving Poverty a Voice. The idea is that in everything we do, we are still supporting families while also listening to the fight people put up for their rights. Whether we are in a support project or an advocacy session, these two elements belong together. By bringing these areas under one roof, we are breaking down barriers.

Expanding is vital for our future. We are welcoming new faces into our Volunteer Corps and core teams. These people bring fresh energy to ATD Fourth World. They allow us to grow while staying rooted in the wisdom of our long-term members. And because the struggle against poverty can be profoundly taxing, we also started a Well-Being Group, created specifically to support our core team, long-term activists, and allies when things feel “too much”.

To make sure ATD is around for a long time, we’ve also continued to work hard to find new ways to fund our work. We know we still have a long way to go, and finding resources remains a constant challenge, but we want to celebrate the progress we have made.

As you read through this review, we hope you see a movement that’s adapting and listening. We aren’t just fighting poverty; we’re building a world where everyone’s dignity is non-negotiable. Thank you for being on this journey with us. Your presence is what makes this work possible. Together, we continue.
