UKSPF: End Poverty Edinburgh – Annual Citizen-led event – Challenge Poverty Week

The End Poverty Edinburgh citizen group will be holding their third annual citizen led event at the Grassmarket Community Project during Challenge Poverty Week on Wednesday, October 8th, 09:30-15:00.

This follows End Poverty Edinburgh’s previous events in 2023 and 2024, which were attended by many representatives from well-known organisations, elected councillors and the leader of Edinburgh Council. Like in previous years, the event will focus on important issues around poverty, identified and shared by those living with and with lived experience of poverty.

Specifically, we will focus on Marginalised Communities in the morning, and Prevention in the afternoon. Each section will feature a panel of relevant speakers. There will be opportunities for dialogue and networking, and lunch will be provided as will refreshments. We hope to bring together a room full of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, organisations and professions to maximise our impact together.  We’ll share a full agenda nearer the date.

Please feel free to bring a friend or colleague, or pass to someone you’d like to attend on your behalf. If you would like to attend with a colleague, please share the registration link with them. (For capacity reasons, we ask each organisation to stick to a maximum of 2 colleagues) To register, please follow the link here.
