It was great to have the first meeting of the Commission in Balintore on 15 August where we had the opportunity to get to know one another and reflected on what poverty in Highland means to them and their hopes and expectations from the Highland Poverty and Equality Commission. We discussed how we can best work together and agreed six thematic areas to explore (Access, Housing, financial security, fairwork, Early Years, Education and Culture and Ways of Working across Public Service). We also agreed to hold evidence sessions on these six areas across the Highlands. To support thee evidence sessions there would be a Sounding Board established for each of these themes which would meet in advance of the evidence session.
