GM Poverty Action newsletter: Emergency food; Food Power Conference; hidden young; Emergency Essentials; Housing study; offender employment and events

The Greater Manchester Poverty Action (GMPA) editorial comments on the increasing demand for emergency food support and what the Government could do immediately to help. There is also a report on the first Food Power Conference attended by Charlie Spring, a member of GMPA’s Food Poverty Alliance.

Other articles provide information about new research studies, one on Salford’s hidden young people and another on housing in Manchester. There is information about the BBC Children in Need Emergency Essentials programme; a call for evidence on offender employment and the Booth Centre share a good news story and invite you to join their sleepout in November. More forthcoming events are listed on the final page.
