PEOPLE who have been affected by poverty in Inverclyde are being encouraged to share their views in a national research project.

The team at Get Heard Scotland - run by the Poverty Alliance - want to find out more about what it's like for people and families in the area who are struggling.

Inverclyde has some of most deprived neighbourhoods in the country, according to research published last year.

Each participant will receive a £15 voucher for their time.

To take part in the research email beth.cloughton@povertyalliance.org or call 07469345432.
