East Midlands Poverty Convention 18th Oct

Inspire Nottingham recently attended the East Midlands Poverty Convention held at the workhouse in Southwell. The convention was held in order to draw attention to those experiencing poverty in the East Midlands and how best to address this in the future. Inspire’s presence meant that people with learning disabilities were not forgotten within this forum for debate.

Inspire members performed a short piece entitled “Even less than you can imagine” to many different groups working to eradicate poverty in the East Midlands. It was a great opportunity to highlight the work of Inspire and demonstrate that those with learning disabilities face both poverty in the traditional sense with regards to income but also in other areas such as social exclusion and equality of opportunity.

In all it was a success and hopefully introduced us to many people we can work together with in the future!
