‘Social Change Series’ launched
The Community Links Social Change Series draws together information from our existing research reports detailing our position and track record on significant, complex issues which we, as a multipurpose organisation, are engaged with on several levels.
21 Oct 2008
The first in the Social Change series focuses on Physical Regeneration. Community Links has worked for over thirty years in Newham, east London. Our area is currently undergoing unprecedented regeneration as work gets underway to prepare the site for the London Olympics 2012. However we are concerned that the focus on buildings and infrastructure misses real opportunities for community regeneration.
Our second booklet reports on the devastating impact that child poverty has on many of the young people we work with . We set out our practical work with families and young people and summarise several recent research reports including policy recommendations. Case studies illustrate the difficulties faced by many who are struggling to bring up children in difficult circumstances.
