Save the Network - campaign and petition

Show your Support!

The Northern Ireland Anti-Poverty Network is calling for your support and attendance at the launch of the

'Save the Network Campaign'
at UNISON, Unit 4, Galway House, 165 York Street, Belfast BT15 1AL,
on Friday 12 September 2008, 10.00am - 12.30pm (lunch will be provided)

Just when we are needed most, we may have to close. This means that "on the ground" research and information, education, lobbying - and most importantly the liaison work that the Network does to connect statutory and government bodies with those experiencing poverty - will grind to a halt.

The Northern Ireland Anti Poverty Network has been in existence for almost 20 years and we have never experienced such a demand for our services. At a time when those at risk of poverty are increasingly vulnerable, we cannot afford to lose the anti-poverty network. This is a time for focus on the fight against poverty.

Without the network the collective voices of Northern Irelands' most disadvantaged communities and individuals will be silenced.

NIAPN is calling for your support in demanding that the NI Executive step up to the mark and fund the core work of the Network, so sign our petition and sign up to the Save the Network Campaign!
