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.

What do we mean by a culture of prevention, and what will it take to grow it?

Across the GoodLives GM Leadership Collaborative, Early Family Help and Live Well, leaders, practitioners and communities have been exploring ways to tackle some of the system barriers we all recognise in our work, like siloed working and competing accountabilities.

GoodLives GM have been gathering learning about what it really takes to grow:

Our democracy is in poor health. Trust and satisfaction with political parties and government is at an all time low and the gap between people and power is growing wider by the day.

But it’s not a strongman leader people want to change this. It’s more citizen involvement in democracy. This is according to brand new polling from More in Common for Power to Change.

Power to Change has long advocated for greater investment in and support of community business, but there has been a gap in the quantitative evidence base around the unique economic contribution that community business makes, both at national and local levels.

As part of the GM Get Britain Working Economic Activity Trailblazer, Manchester City Council (MCC) plans to commission an extended employment and health service which can provide holistic and person-led support for residents experiencing long-term health conditions, disabilities and/or caring responsibilities, helping them move towards economic activity.

As many families struggle with rising cost of living, more and more children are pulled into poverty. The appalling scale of poverty across the country is something the Citizens Advice advisers witness every day. Stagnant wages and the sky-high cost of essentials have pushed many families into a negative budget, where their income fails to cover the cost of essential outgoings.

Strengthening inclusive neighbourhoods, schools and community spaces to support children and young people with additional needs and their families.

Seeds for Action: In Focus is a series of thematic workshops focusing on how we can build connections to support our climate work.
