We’re proud to have joined an alliance working across Greater Manchester to prevent and reduce poverty and create a more prosperous and inclusive city region.
Irwell Valley Homes is one of 25 principal partners of Greater Manchester Poverty Action, playing our part in tackling poverty, and highlighting our commitment to supporting people to live well in their homes and communities.
Ceris Esplen, Director of Strategy and Partnerships, said: "As an affordable housing provider, we know first-hand the pressures people across Greater Manchester are facing right now.
“Preventing and tackling poverty is a key priority for us and working with partners such as GMPA is more important than ever. By working together and supporting initiatives such as the Real Living Wage Campaign and the Poverty Truth Commissions we aim to make a real impact - supporting people to overcome the challenges surrounding poverty and live well in their home and community."
New research released sharing local good practice
Greater Manchester Poverty Action has today released its latest report sharing good practice and effective approaches to tackling poverty locally.
The absence of a national poverty plan means more councils and their partners are seeking to address the issue and this report sets out a framework to help them do so.
It also highlights the importance of organisations working together to make an impact – one of the reasons we’re proud to be involved and helping to make a difference.
