We have asked all members in the six ILDN regions to showcase\ud
the range of work undertaken to not only support people out of\ud
poverty, but to highlight the preventative measures they have put\ud
in place, for example, removing barriers to education.\ud
The focus of all our work has been to support people out of\ud
poverty by multiple interventions. Poverty and the fallout from it\ud
is never easily fixed, but through persistent effort and a strategic\ud
focus, organisations such as Local Development Companies\ud
have made an impact. The key to our success has been a\ud
community-led, local development approach, that engages\ud
local communities, and where we together map out solutions to\ud
poverty and social exclusion in our local areas
