EAPN UK

EAPN UK seeks to connect anti-poverty organisations and groups in all parts of the UK to influence European level policy. To do this we primarily work through existing networks including:

the Poverty Alliance in Scotland
EAPN England
the Northern Ireland Anti-Poverty Network.

If your organisation is interested in getting involved please contact Peter Kelly at the Poverty Alliance peter.kelly@povertyalliance.org

We coordinate activity through UK Liaison Group (UKLG) which is made up of representatives of each of the networks. The UKLG forms the link back to the work of EAPN Europe in Brussels. The Poverty Alliance currently provides the secretariat for the UKLG.
