As we move into August, the team have been discussing with residents and community groups how inequalities impact ability to make a living for some groups more than others. We are conducting targeted engagement with certain groups who are most likely to face structural inequalities when trying to make a living: Disabled people; Black men; Economic migrants and refugees; Older residents; South Asian Women; and Young people

If you identify as one of these groups please email connecting.communities@walthamforest.gov.uk as we would love to hear from you:

You can also get involved by going to the 'Have a Say' section, where you can start a conversation, reply to others, or take our quick survey. To stay involved, please sign-up through your email to this page.
