Over 100 delegates were in attendance from all sectors including the VCSE, Local Authorities and various NHS Health Departments.

Following on from the presentations, delegates divided into Focus Groups covering subject areas such as Poverty, Isolation, Ethnic Minority Inequalities, Older Adults and Children and Young People.

The Groups looked at what is being done now and how, and what good looks like in a perfect world.

The Conference was concluded with a Question-and-Answer Panel.

The notes from each Focus Group will be compiled over the next 2 weeks and will be shared in future Friday Bulletins. If you wish to subscribe to our Bulletin simply contact Sophie.negus@voluntaryimpact.org.uk
