Do you support adults, young people or children in Falkirk District who are most impacted by poverty and inequality?
Together with their Community Planning Partners (CPP), the Fairer Falkirk team are beginning the process of creating a new anti-poverty strategy to replace the current “Towards a Fairer Falkirk” strategy and Falkirk’s Child Poverty Action Plan. The new strategy will be designed to have a broader scope, aiming to tackle the impact of poverty in all its forms, whilst still retaining a focus on child poverty. It is expected that the new strategy will launch in Spring 2024.
The Fairer Falkirk team wants to ensure that the new strategy is built on the views of those people who are most likely to be impacted by the issues of poverty and inequality, while framing it in the context of the work that has already been done over the last few years.
Local third sector groups and organisations can support the team to engage with people and communities they already support and engage with – these are the people the team most wants to hear from, to ensure their views on how to make Falkirk District a fairer place to live are reflected in the strategy.
To support groups and organisations in this, the Fairer Falkirk team will provide suitable digital and physical resources to help prompt and direct informed conversations, along with a system to record the responses and key takeaways. The team can also join or lead these conversations, where groups feel this would be appropriate and of value.
If your group or organisation would like to support the consultation into this strategy, please check out the resources linked below, or contact the Fairer Falkirk Team by email: fairerfalkirk@falkirk.gov.uk
