From the All Party Political Group on Poverty
The APPG on Poverty is honoured to announce the Paul Goggins Memorial Prize. Paul Goggins MP was the Secretary of the APPG
Poverty and a strong voice for the anti poverty campaign in and outside of Parliament.
The prize will be awarded to the best civil society initiative that can demonstrate that it has reduced poverty in a tangible
way.
The prize, worth £3000, will be given jointly by the APPG on Poverty and the
Webb Memorial Trust.
We welcome nominations on behalf of local community projects and are looking for innovative and engaging ideas that have
worked effectively in and with local communities.
Submissions can take any form, and creative ways of expression are particularly encouraged. Photographs, videos and other
visual supporting evidence will be welcomed.
To enter, the organisation or project will need their local MP to nominate them before
5th October 2014.
MPs of shortlisted projects will be invited to present the proposals in
parliament in the autumn, at an awards ceremony to be hosted by the
Speaker of the House
of Commons, John Bercow.
