Poverty Awareness Training sessions are designed to raise awareness of the impacts of poverty across North Lanarkshire. During a cost of living crisis, more and more people are affected by increasing fuel and food prices together with interest rates, and these are only somethings that make it very difficult for our residents. The session will provide you with the tools to be able to signpost and/or make referrals to the tackling poverty team to ensure that we are providing all the support we can to people impacted by poverty.
