Introducing Wigan Borough Partnership

Wigan Borough Partnership brings together representatives from your local public, private, community and voluntary sector organisations - a forum for joint action to improve quality of life across the borough. 

Members are working together to deliver a whole range of exciting new initiatives under the umbrella of Wigan Life. This will be the lead brand on the kind of partnership projects that present a more positive image of Wigan borough; a place that fosters aspiration and innovation, that’s inclusive and welcoming that’s vibrant and getting healthier.

 

Addressing child poverty

Child poverty imposes costs on individuals and society alike; poverty blights children’s lives and prevents them fulfilling their potential leading to intergenerational cycles of poverty and disadvantage (Joseph Rowntree Foundation, 2008).

People from across Wigan’s public, private and voluntary sectors met at the DW Stadium on Monday 17th May to gain a deeper understanding and discuss their roles in addressing this vital issue.
