CHALLENGE POVERTY WEEK OCTOBER 14TH TO 20TH
VISITS TO PROJECTS
We are asking projects working to address issues of poverty and marginalisation to get involved. We are asking you to invite local leaders, including M.P.’s and Local Councillors, to visit your project to show case the excellent work you do and to offer to your visitors insights into why so many people in our communities are suffering from poverty.
Please email in photos of visits and a short comment on your project’s work to info@cornwallindependentpovertyforum.com Do include the attached Banner for CPW 2024 in the picture ! A report will be prepared and widely distributed to raise awareness of the issues and to try and influence local and central government planning and policy making, with a view to making positive changes in regard to poverty. The report will contain all the photos submitted as well as a series of articles on the Tackling the Housing Crisis in Cornwall.
