“The North East Chamber of Commerce welcomes the North East Combined Authority’s £28.6m Child Poverty Reduction Action Plan. It is a vital commitment to tackling one of our region’s most pressing challenges.
“Reducing child poverty is not just the right thing to do, it is essential to the long-term success of our economy and the wellbeing of our communities. The plan approved today by the NECA Cabinet will mean funded action to tackle this issue through to 2029.
