YWCA discuss impact of the recession on equalities agenda
YWCA has taken part in UNISON's National Delegate Conference at their Equalities Fringe Panel meeting held in Brighton on Wednesday 17th June 2009.
The discussion entitled 'Equality on hold? How the recession impacts on our equalities agenda' was chaired by Guardian journalist Polly Toynbee.
Angela Deavall, YWCA's Director of Policy, Research & Campaigns was joined by co-panelists Rob Berkeley of the Runnymede Trust, Zamila Bunglawala of Fellow of the Young Foundation and Roger McKenzie, newly appointed UNISON Regional Secretary for the West Midlands.
The fringe meeting attracted around 150 delegates and was a key part of the conference activity, also serving to inform attending policy makers on important issues to be debated the next day at the conference.
