4in10 presents:
TACKLING CHILD POVERTY AT A TIME OF AUSTERITY
With £15bn of cuts to the welfare budget between 2010 and 2015 and further cuts to come in the next Spending Review, this is the time to discuss the link between child poverty and austerity.
Austerity has provided policy makers and service providers in the statutory and voluntary and community sector with some challenges and opportunities in tackling issues of child poverty in London.
CHILD POVERTY AND AUSTERITY is a capacity building seminar by 4in10 to explore the impact of austerity on issues of child poverty in the capital. The workshop will bring together speakers from think tanks, frontline service delivery and policy making to share insights into austerity and child poverty.
When: Thursday 17th September 2015
12.30pm – 4.00pm
Where: Conference Room, The Foundry,
17 Oval Way, London SE11 5RR

CHILD POVERTY AND AUSTERITY is the first in 4in10’s Capacity Building Workshops. The workshop will bring together members of the 4in10 network with academics, policy makers and service delivery staff from both the voluntary and statutory sector across London.
The workshop will be an opportunity to:
– Hear up-to-date research on living standards, deprivation and child poverty in 2015
– Discuss the impact of welfare reform on child poverty in London
– Hear how the voluntary sector and local authorities have developed creative and empowering ways of tackling austerity and child poverty
We want to explore

– What are key policy asks in London to tackle child poverty in the context of the spending cuts?

Imagine not having enough to eat, or not being able to eat a balanced diet, because you don’t have access to or money for good quality food.
Too many people living in our Boroughs face these problems every day, putting their health and wellbeing at risk. Healthier Homes training is designed to help.

Voluntary Sector Providers and Potential Providers for Adult Social Care
Roundtable discussion
Desta has been commissioned to conduct a market mapping and shaping exercise of the voluntary sector for adult social care.
As part of this, we have organised three roundtable discussions for voluntary organisations which either already provide adult social care services or which would like to do so in the future. We are especially interested in providers and potential providers of home care services or providers which might support home care services through, for example, befriending services.
The discussion will look at the challenges and opportunities of providing these services, the barriers that might prevent new providers from delivering services, and the kinds of support that existing and potential providers need to deliver and grow their services.
Organisations are welcome to attend any one of these events.
Monday 20 July 1-3pm The Dalgarno Trust – please book here.
Tuesday 21 July 10.30-12.30pm White City Community Centre – please book here.
Wednesday 22 July 10.30-12.30pm One Westminster – please book here.
Best wishes,
