New powers to local authorities, millions of pounds of investment and new elected mayors – but will any of these things work for women in the north?
Tell the Women’s Budget Group about what YOU want the northern powerhouse to do:
- more affordable child care?
- better apprenticeships for women?
- better flexible working and part time job opportunities?
This event is an opportunity for you to speak directly to elected officials and those holding the purse strings. We are delighted to have Kate Green MP Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities joining us on the day. We will also be joined by representatives from local and regional authorities in the northern powerhouse who will provide an introduction to their plans.
No prior knowledge is required – come along and listen, learn and contribute. Make sure the northern powerhouse is not just a boys club – get your voices heard!
Can’t afford the travel? Let us know and we can help. Got kids? Bring them along or let us help pay for your child care. Have accessibility requirements? We can help with them too. Get in contact with admin@wbg.org.uk
All genders are welcome at this event and it is child friendly.
We would like to thank our funders the Amiel and Melburn Trust for making this event possible.
