The North West Infrastructure Partnership commissioned the Centre for Local Economic Strategies and the Centre for Local Policy Studies to research the impact of current policy on equalities and the specialist organisations that deliver to some of our most marginalised communities.

The research process lasted eight months, included 15 issue-specific focus groups, and involved over two hundred and fifty voluntary and community sector organisations from across the North West and looked at:

• The equalities impact of policy agendas around localism, big society, welfare, health, and economic growth;
• The socio-economic implications of a reduced focus on equality;
• The values of equalities focused voluntary and community sector organisations;
• The applicability of impacts and implications to the North West

• When: Monday 10th October 2011, 7:00pm-9:00pm (doors open at 6:00pm)
• Where: Vortex downstairs

This event has been organised in response to the reactionary and damaging prison sentences currently handed out to accused rioters.
