On Monday 16th June, The Cambridgeshire Poverty Strategy Commission was proud to launch its report ‘A call for a strategic approach to end poverty across Cambridgeshire‘.

Our Chief Executive, Tracy Hyland, was involved with this innovative publication with a number of other colleagues from across Cambridgeshire. The premise of the report was summed up in the foreword ‘From the outset, our aim has been clear: to better understand the reality of poverty in Cambridgeshire and to help shape meaningful and realistic recommendations that can influence change. Our work has taken place within a tight timeline and against a backdrop of growing need, rising inequalities, and increasing pressures on services and communities alike.’ 

Tracy commented,

It was a privilege to be involved to work with like minded colleagues who wanted to suggest solutions to the ever growing rise in need across our county. Together, we can affect change.
