How to deliver good jobs in England’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods

Join us and a panel of inspiring speakers on Thursday 17th October from 2 – 4pm to talk about bringing more, better-quality jobs to residents in England’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Taking place in the iconic People’s History Museum in Manchester, this event coincides with the launch of a new report by the Centre for Progressive Policy (CPP) and Local Trust on doubly deprived neighbourhoods – communities that face both high levels of material deprivation and low levels of social and civic capital and infrastructure. Based on extensive analysis, focus groups and in-depth practitioner interviews, the report outlines a blueprint for government to help these neighbourhoods thrive. Representatives from communities involved in the project will be invited to speak alongside local and regional leaders who are responsible for implementing neighbourhood-level interventions.

Speakers to be announced soon.

The report welcomes the government’s commitments on advancing rights and pay in lagging sectors, as well as the opportunities presented by a missions-based approach for neighbourhood renewal. It sets out a five-point plan for delivering more and better work, based on the government’s national Plan to Make Work Pay, Local Growth Plans, neighbourhood renewal initiatives, and investment in civic capital through a Community Wealth Fund to help communities organise.

We welcome an audience of local, regional and national attendees to join us for this discussion. The event will include an audience Q&A and will be followed by refreshments.

Free and open to all, but booking necessary.
