Poverty Sub Group
The Poverty Sub-group includes relevant partners from Ceredigion Public Services Board, the Third Sector, Further and Higher Education providers and Housing Associations.
We work together to reduce household costs and to maximise the income of people experiencing hardship. We also aim to increase understanding of local poverty and address the stigma of poverty.
Our duties are:
- To ensure that our duty to prepare and publish a strategy that contributes to the eradication of child poverty in Wales is discharged via the PSB Local Well-being Plan.
- To ensure that poverty remains a key focus across all four well-being pillars of the PSB Local Well-being Plan.
- To share poverty related information about available support, academic research and lived experience of residents.
- To monitor the progress of efforts to tackle poverty and inequalities in Ceredigion and take necessary actions based on the findings.
- To present regular updates to Ceredigion Public Services Board.
The Public Services Board's Poverty sub-group is coordinated by our Equality and Inclusion team.
