In 2024 Brown co-authored a pamphlet on child poverty demanding a multibillion pound package to solve what he dubbed 'a social crisis'.[170][171][172]

Looks like he's trying.
I don't know enough about the man to question his intentions.
However, as ex state leader I doubt his solution would involve fixing social policy as that would hurt his oligarchs.

The first “multibank” in London, distributing everything from basic foods to baby products and toiletries, will be officially launched this week, amid continued concerns about levels of poverty as the school summer holidays begin.
“As a new anti-poverty plan is being prepared, the multibanks still need to secure more supplies and more funds from generous donors so that, working with food banks, we can provide poverty relief.”
Thousands of families are set to be helped by the new scheme in west London, overseen by the Felix Project, which sources surplus from the food industry that would otherwise go to waste.
Advocates of the multibank model say that it can be a powerful addition to fighting local poverty by redistributing stock that cannot be sold and taking donations from the corporate world.
