Meet people with real life experience of responses to poverty from food banks to campaigning
The voluntary sector are doing amazing work with disadvantaged communities all over Yorkshire and the Humber and welfare reforms impact on the sector's vision of a good society.
The Welfare and Poverty 2012 conference is about what's happening to welfare and what the voluntary sector can do to tackle poverty and disadvantage. Are welfare reforms helping people to get into work and supporting economic development or are they simply hitting the most vulnerable? Are the changes a necessary reshaping of the Welfare State or a sign of a less compassionate society? Debate, learn and act.
