How can we work together to tackle poverty in our communities?

Our Provision Manager, Phil, recently attended the Causeway Coast and Glens Anti-Poverty Network event, joining community organisations, support services and local partners to discuss the challenges facing individuals and families across our area.

One key issue highlighted was the need to raise awareness of Social Tariffs, helping people on low incomes access affordable broadband and stay connected in an increasingly digital world.

In this blog, Phil reflects on the conversations, insights and opportunities for collaboration that emerged from the event.
