Posted May 21 2009
City Parochial Foundation and the New Policy Institute have launched a Report and Findings - 'London's Poverty Profile'. It is the first independent report to bring together such a wide range of indicators measuring poverty, inequality and social exclusion in the capital.
London's Poverty Profile was warmly welcomed at its launch on 19 May by the Minister for London and Minister of State for Employment & Welfare Reform, Tony McNulty MP, and Anthony Browne, Policy Director for the Mayor of London.
Anthony Browne described it as 'the best produced and best researched report by a thinktank in a very long time'. The Minister expressed the hope that the Profile would help to raise national awareness of the real deprivation within the capital.
The launch of the research was covered in the media including:
- BBC London on the lunchtime and 6 o'clock news, with a live interview with London's Poverty Profile co-author, Peter Kenway of New Policy Institute. You can watch the evening news package again at the link below.
