Child poverty: we can make a difference

In December 2009, we held an event for leaders of children's centres and directors of local authorities to explore how we can make a difference to child poverty. The event was an opportunity for leaders to share ideas and experiences to better meet the needs of children and families.

Speakers included Sir John Jones and Lord Andrew Mawson, founder and president of the Bromley-by-Bow Centre in East London and co-founder and president of the Community Action Network (CAN).

"Children’s centre leaders have a role to play not just at the beginning of a child’s life, but right through the education process, Not just a Sure Start, but a Strong Finish.” Sir John Jones
