    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    This networking meeting is designed to bring together a range of local groups and organisations to discuss issues of key concern to the fight against poverty. The meeting will be participative, and focused on discussion and on generating networking opportunities to tackle poverty in general as well as around key issues. The meeting will be small scale to allow time for discussion and debate.

    The event will focus on encouraging networking around the new Social Security system for Scotland and responding locally: Identifying networking and follow up opportunities to tackle poverty.

    The discussions will be led by staff from the Poverty Alliance and is an opportunity to strengthen networking and share good practice. At the end of the event attendees will have an improved understanding of key poverty issues in Scotland, improved sharing and networking and identified ways to work together at both the local and national levels.

    The networking meetings are free and open to all groups and organisations that are concerned about poverty in Scotland. Statutory agencies, local civil society organisations, community and voluntary organisations, trade union branches and faith groups will all find the discussions useful.

    Prior to the seminar they will use twitter and facebook to promote the events and to allow participants to network with each other online both before and after the event.
