Campaigns
Driving local change through insight and action
At CASES, we combine powerful local insight and national research to campaign for meaningful change. By highlighting the real challenges faced by our communities, we influence decision-makers, improve policies, and create stronger, fairer communities.
Using Our Data for Change
At CASES, we hold extensive insight and data on the problems our clients and communities face. We use this evidence to:
- Research and understand issues further
- Influence decision-makers to change policies and practices
- Campaign for improvements to systems that impact people’s lives
Locally, we know first-hand which issues are creating barriers and where policies are falling short.

Our local campaigns: Tackling hardship together
Currently, our Community Campaigns Team is working with Lichfield Foodbank and The Trussell Trust to identify key drivers of hardship across the Lichfield District. Together, we are empowering those with lived experience to call on local leaders for real change.
“In order to reach a future where no one needs a food bank to survive, we need strong communities where people from different backgrounds come together to drive forward long-lasting change.”
Trussell Trust
Emerging Issues Driving Hardship:
- Repairs and maintenance for tenants
- Access to public transport for work
- Social isolation and community disconnection

Supporting national campaigns
In addition to our local work, we continue to champion national campaigns led by Citizens Advice and The Trussell Trust, such as the Guarantee Our Essentials Campaign.
Through creative initiatives like collecting personal stories on tablecloths—later used to create the Hardship Times newspaper—and hosting Community Conversations, we are building a powerful collective voice to influence government policy.
In 2025, these efforts will culminate in Lobby Day, where we will present our collective message directly to MPs.
