Local and national charities are a key component in delivering the national social inclusion programme. With UK unemployment rising above two million for the first time since 1997 the number of people excluded and facing the threat of exclusion has increased.

As unemployment continues to rise, it is even more essential that government, local authorities and Local Strategic Partnerships focus their efforts on the most disadvantaged and socially excluded people and neighbourhoods and prevent the damage of long-term worklessness.

This national conference will focus on a number of key areas, such as the Government's plans for social inclusion, early intervention, child poverty, developing coherent and formal strategies at a local and strategic level, new inclusion initiatives and pilot projects.
