This event aimed to give local people and community groups the chance to be heard alongside policy-makers and other practitioners, and to encourage participants to suggest activities for London during the Year.
The event, in partnership with the third sector European network and London voluntary sector training consortium was surrounded by a regional exhibition of anti-poverty work open to people passing by. The many invited speakers included Stephen Timms MP, Financial Secretary to the UK Treasury, Elspeth Darby, Department of Work and Pensions and responsible for 2010 and London MEP Jean Lambert.
