Concerned about the cuts? K and C Social Council new working group

Are you worried about the impact of proposed benefits cuts on our communities?

Do you know of people who are being forced to move from their home because of the cap on housing benefit?

Does it concern you that in some parts of the borough more than 4 out of 10 children grow up in poverty?

DO YOU THINK IT’S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

We know that there is real concern in our borough about the effect of cuts. We believe that the voluntary and community sector should be at the forefront of standing up for our communities.

We will be convening a new working group in the next few weeks to look at some of the issues that have arisen. We want to know how the cuts are impacting on the people we support. We want to develop a collective voice to influence and challenge decision makers.

Can you help?

If you are willing and able to give some time to a 'poverty watch' working group and you are serious about campaigning then please confirm you would like to take part by emailing Angela Spence angela@kcsc.org.uk.

The first working group meeting will be held in February, so don't wait, contact Angela now.
