Alan Moore, Author and Activist
Alan was born in Northampton in 1953, in an area known as The Burroughs. Now, well known for his writing, he is an outspoken advocate for the working classes. The image of Guy Fawkes (illustrated by David Lloyd) taken from his graphic novel V for Vendetta has been widely used by both the Occupy and Anonymous movements, becoming a symbol of a desire for political change worldwide.
Working locally with campaigners in relation to cuts in housing, services, and support for people in his home town, Alan often uses the platform provided by his prominence in his chosen field to call for changes in how poverty and the working classes are treated by local and national government. He has also collaborated with Occupy, contributing to both their magazine and records.
Austerity & Advice, How the advice sector can positively impact on poverty and wellbeing
Hull & East Riding Citizens Advice Bureau, on behalf of the Advice Forward Partnership, is hosting conference examining how advice can have positive impacts on poverty and wellbeing.
