Policy networks

North East Child Poverty Network

Our North East Child Poverty Network, run in partnership with The North East Child Poverty Commission (NECPC), is a network for NHC members working across the region around poverty, welfare reform, universal credit, tenancy support and social and financial exclusion. This network provides NHC members with the opportunity to share how their organisations are working to support communities and mitigate the impact of poverty and the cost-of-living crisis across the North East, and hear regular updates from the North East Combined Authority (NECA) Poverty team around the Mayor’s plans on tackling poverty across the region and the role of housing in the Child Poverty Reduction Unit.

Policy Network

The NHC continues to run its Policy Network focusing on policy developments, good practice solutions, and public affairs activity. The Policy Network is an important communication channel for the NHC, providing an opportunity to hear directly from members and tailor engagement services around their thoughts and concerns.
