Urgent Poverty Forum in Letterkenny: Local Voices Needed Now

UPDATE: A critical public forum addressing poverty in Donegal will take place today at the Letterkenny Library at 2 PM. Organized by the European Anti-Poverty Network Ireland (EAPN) and supported by the Department of Social Protection, this event invites local residents to share their personal experiences with poverty as part of the global observance of the UN Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

This forum is a vital opportunity for community members to voice how poverty affects their daily lives. Clare Daly, the Policy Officer for EAPN, emphasizes that Donegal is among the most impacted counties in Ireland, highlighting the urgent need for change. “It’s essential that we listen to the voices of those most affected,” she stated.

The event is designed to shed light on the local impact of poverty, fostering dialogue and understanding among attendees. As the cost of living continues to rise, the community is encouraged to participate and share their stories, making their struggles heard.

Attendees can expect an open forum where personal narratives will help paint a broader picture of the current poverty landscape in the region. This initiative aims to gather insights that can inform future policy decisions, making it essential for anyone affected by or concerned about poverty to attend.

Local advocates, community leaders, and concerned citizens are urged to join in this compelling discussion. Your voice matters—be part of the change today.
