What is the Tackling Poverty Strategy?
Southend on Sea City Council is developing a Tackling Poverty Strategy and Action Plan by 2023 with the aims of supporting people born into poverty, and those who fall into poverty, to be able to move out of poverty.
The 5 priority themes for this strategy are:
Food Insecurity
Fuel Poverty
Financial Inclusion
Housing Poverty
Jobs & Skills
With the view to highlight digital inclusion and health inequality in all of the above themes.
If you are working with residents on low income or facing financial hardship in Southend we would like to hear your views.
Your views will be used alongside other key data points to help inform the Tackling Poverty Strategy and Action Plan and ensure the council has the right support in place to help residents..
The strategy and action plan will be co-produced with people with lived experience of poverty, we will launch a household survey to understand residents views and organising focus groups sessions to understand people's journey through the support system.
If you are overseeing your community's, organisation's or team's work please help us mapping services in Southend with filling in the Tackling Poverty Services mapping survey too.
