Resolve Poverty is working alongside VCFSE colleagues across Lancashire to develop the Lancashire Anti-Poverty Network (LAPN). As part of this important initiative, they are conducting a survey to gather insights from individuals working within the VCFSE sector across the region. This survey will contribute to ongoing discussions about how to address poverty in Lancashire.
​
The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete, and the data collected will be shared anonymously at the first in-person LAPN meeting later this year.
For those interested in learning more about the Lancashire Anti-Poverty Network or seeking additional support and information on anti-poverty initiatives and training, you can contact Patsy Davies, the Network Development Coordinator, at patsy@resolvepoverty.org.
