4in10 Events 

4in10 run events both for and collaboratively with our members. From practical, skills-based events to capacity building workshops, we aim to provide a diverse and useful offering for our members. Become a member for free to hear about and get involved in 4in10 events and activities.

 

We have set up a Policy Forum within 4in10, to bring members together to discuss all things relating to policy and child poverty in London. In Oct 2023 our Strategic Programme Manager, Katherine, joined the London Partnership Board as a representative of the community and voluntary sectors which provides us with an excellent opportunity to feed into high level strategic discussions about the big issues affecting London and we propose to use these meetings to ensure that she is reflecting the membership’s views in these discussions. Sign up to join the mailing list for the forum here.  The Forum meets quarterly and there will be no formal membership – any 4in10 member will be welcome to attend on a meeting by meeting basis.

“Make Childcare Make Sense”
How can we make childcare and early education more accessible and affordable for low-income families in London?

21st January 2025, 10:00am-1:00pm

In Person – Free

You are invited to a half-day conference on childcare at City Hall hosted by Marina Ahmad AM to hear about the experiences of families living on low incomes when it comes to childcare and early education and discuss the actions that are needed to make these services more accessible and affordable for them.

Over the past year, a number of key reports have been published looking at these issues. These include the London Assembly Economy Committee’s Early years childcare in London report, Business LDN’s No Kidding, How transforming childcare can boost the economy report and 4in10’s own ‘Make Childcare Make Sense for families on low incomes in London’ report. We now want to reflect on their collective findings and look at how their recommendations can now be actioned and implemented.
