Discussion on how families overcome the challenges they face

At its meeting on 12 May, the Salisbury Area Board received presentations on Child Poverty, Children’s Centres, and Explore (a charity which works with young people to talk about relationships and marriage). These presentations were followed by a roundtable discussion involving everyone present at the meeting on the challenges for families and how different organisations could work together to help families overcome the challenges they face.

The views and comments made have been collated and are set out in the attached document.

The Chairman of the Salisbury Area Board (Councillor Mary Douglas) has asked me to circulate this information to you, as many of the comments relate to the different areas of responsibility of Assembly members.

Councillor Douglas would like to update the Area Board at its next meeting (14 July) regarding any actions arising from the comments made. Could you please let Councillor Douglas know, by contacting me using the details below, whether you have any comments on the attached or whether you are aware of any projects that might respond to the issues and views raised.

Kind regards

James Hazlewood
