Mission critical: The role of English regions and localities in a whole-system approach to tackling poverty

Resolve Poverty invites you to join their webinar which will launch their new research examining how English regions and localities can take a whole-system approach to reducing and preventing poverty. This research was undertaken with stakeholders across local and regional governments, thinktanks, and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, in partnership with the Local Authorities and the Cost of Living Emergency (LOCALE) project at the University of York.
