25th February 2010
2010 European Year to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion (EY2010) awareness raising event for Yorkshire And The Humber
To raise awareness of the European Year to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion (EY2010), CSV (Community Service Volunteers) are putting on an interactive debate and presentation session on Thursday 11th March from 10am - 2pm
The day will feature a key note speech from the Government Minister for Yorkshire And The Humber, Rosie Winterton, as well as an explanation of the year from the Department of Work and Pensions. The event will be chaired by Dean Pepall, a representative from BBC Radio Sheffield.
The European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion 2010 aims to raise public awareness of the importance of combating poverty and social exclusion for personal, social and economic development. It will aim to give a voice to those who experience poverty and social exclusion.
This event will aim to raise awareness of the causes, prevalence and consequences of poverty and social exclusion in Yorkshire And The Humber, before EY2010 officially launches nationally in March.
This event will be a chance for key organisations and decision makers to hear first hand from the Minister for Yorkshire And The Humber, Rosie Winterton, about what the European Year means to this region. It will also offer the chance for staff of voluntary and community groups, and statutory bodies to share best practice and raise awareness. Poverty affects us all and we must all play a part in tackling it.
The event will take place at The Stables Conference Centre, Doncaster College, High Melton, Doncaster, DN5 7SZ from 10am-2pm. Lunch will be provided.
