About this event

Event lasts 1 hour

Our event addresses a paradox: while labour shortages persist across key sectors in the UK and EU, a significant portion of the population remains economically inactive and invisible in the labour market. Drawing on five-years of research (2018-2023) in deprived communities in England and France, we will share how local actors – such as housing associations and local employers – can identify and support those furthest away from the labour market.

Celebrate with us the launch of our Visibility Manual & CPD Training happening in person at RSA House, @The Steps in central London! Join us on Thu Sep 18 2025 at 13:30 for an insightful discussion on the role of housing associations and local employers in delivering change in deprived communities. Be part of the launch of our manual and CPD training and engage in thought-provoking discussions with industry experts and fellow attendees. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals. See you there!
