Please find enclosed a report of key findings from the Preparatory Workshops held in advance of the Social Inclusion Forum 2021.

Community Work Ireland (CWI) and the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) Ireland collaborate annually to organise a series of workshops to support participation at the Social Inclusion Forum and to identify issues of concern to people affected by poverty and the organisations working with them. In 2021, four thematic workshops were held by CWI and EAPN Ireland, reflecting the four themes of this year’s SIF: • Core Essentials • Supporting Families and Children • Expanding the Opportunity of Employment • Ensuring the voices of marginalised communities are heard. The above report highlights the key messages from the Preparatory Workshops to the Social Inclusion Forum.
