2025 Annual Conference: A conference on working locally to end poverty nationally
Local places and regions have a central role to play in resolving poverty. This conference brought together people across the country to discuss what we can do to tackle poverty and boost household incomes at a local and regional level. We also explored what the forthcoming national Child Poverty Strategy means for local places and regions and how it can be used to strengthen and scale up local anti-poverty initiatives.

2024 Annual Conference: The Power of Place in Tackling Poverty
While many of the main drivers to tackle poverty lie with central government, we know that partners across sectors and local authorities can play a significant role in boosting local living standards. This day-long conference explored the powerful role that places can play in poverty reduction. Together, we looked at the strategic and policy responses that can be implemented at a regional and local level to tackle poverty and make a difference to your communities.
