IMPACT OF WELFARE REFORMS - Do you understand the changes?

14 Mar 2013 - 15:13 by fiona.mark

The Manchester Black and Minority Ethnic Network (MBMEN) at its February networking event heard from speakers about the changes that are coming to the Welfare system. Participants expressed great concern about the need for more information and worried about the impact of the changes on families, friends, children and vulnerable communities.
The Government says it has instituted welfare reform to:
• save £19b or more on the country’s benefits bill
• simplify, streamline and reform the welfare system
• make it more beneficial to be in work

How will climate change affect Black and Minority Ethnic Communities?

14 Mar 2013 - 15:10 by fiona.mark

Climate change affects us all, especially the most vulnerable and it’s really important that we all engage with this issue; it’s not going away!  The Manchester BME Network in partnership with its members, MC-UK, Creative Hands and Salford Refugee Network is undertaking a project looking at “Climate change and BME Communities “with a specific focus on two vulnerable communities; older people and refugees and asylum seekers.  We hope to understand further the needs of the community and find solutions to help support the community better.
