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.

Feminist Initiatives Need Data (FIND) – Using data in your reports and press releases is an important way to show evidence and strengthen your case. Data is produced and published all the time, but the hard part is to know where to find the data that you want and how to use it to achieve your research, campaigning and advocacy goals. This training is an introduction to how to access and use data to become an equalities data champion. It is designed to help 4in10 members learn simple, accessible ways to use data in their frontline and campaigning work and demonstrate to funders and political leaders the need and value of your work.
This training is for anyone with an interest in using data for their campaign work. We don’t presume any prior knowledge or experience in data handling or analysis. This is not a course on the maths of data analysis and no mathematical skills are required. This course can help 4in10 organisations, small and large put data to work in their fundraising, campaigning, storytelling and project evaluation.
The training is split into three two-hour sessions that are usually delivered over three consecutive weeks online. We encourage 4in10 members to do their best to attend all three sessions in order to become an equalities data champion and benefit from the scope of information that is built upon throughout the three sessions.

Child Poverty Free Community: Westminster
12th December 2024, 1:00pm-3:00pm
In Person- Free
4 in10 is hosting an in-person two-hour event for current or prospective members of London’s Child Poverty Network.
The purpose of this event will be to provide local organisations and residents across Westminster with up to date information on the context of child poverty across the borough. We will highlight growing or emerging challenges as well as provide an overview of the training and support that 4in10 provides and our current activities. There will also be an opportunity to meet or catch up with local organisations and get to know other local organisations in the network or what groups might be working on similar issues elsewhere across neighbouring communities in London.
We are extremely grateful to our members from One Westminster for hosting us and to Amina Begum at One Westminster for supporting the planning of this event.

Understanding Migrant Destitution in London

Lucy Leon from COMPAS will be highlighting the vital role of local authorities in London as they support destitute families with consideration of the importance of meeting children’s needs and supporting families with limited access to other means of support.
This event will include data from the responses of local authorities across London regarding the level of need they see in destitute families across their borough, locked out of the welfare safety net.
Lucy will also speak to the evidence regarding how the No Recourse to Public Funds visa condition impacts families across London when they need support and recommendations for an improved support system to ensure families access the care and resources they need.

4in10 Open Coffee Mornings
Warm Welcome Project
7th November 2024, 10:30am-11:30pm
Online – Free
At this latest Coffee Morning, we are excited to be joined by Tessa Kirby from National Energy Action to discuss their ongoing Warm Welcome project.
The Warm Welcome project is supporting households with children under 5 years, or where there is an expectant parent. Research shows that changes in family make up, especially in new young children entering a household, make families more vulnerable to entering or increasing fuel poverty indicators.
Tickets are limited, to learn more about this event and to register to attend follow this link.
If you would like to co-host a coffee morning with 4in10 to discuss a particular theme, please get in touch.
4in10 Open Coffee Mornings are free, fun and open to everyone who shares concern on issues relating to growing child poverty in our capital. Open Coffee Morning sessions are thematic, usually online and with one overarching area which frames the discussion. However, the sessions are truly flexible; attendees can contribute, participate, and engage in ways and on areas that matter to them.
