Short life working groups

From time to time, Delivery Groups of Orkney Partnership set up short life working groups to focus on a specific, time-limited task and report back to their parent Delivery Group. 

Cost of Living Task Force

There is currently one short life working group, the Cost of Living Task Force, and more information about this group will be posted here in the coming weeks. The Task Force is responding to the immediate cost of living crisis and it will address the underlying causes of poverty in Orkney.

The Child Poverty Task Force produced the Orkney Child Poverty Strategy 2022-2026 and the Orkney Local Child Poverty Action Report 2021-2022 (see below). This task force has now been wound down and its work taken forward by different partners and by the Cost of Living Task Force.

The Cost of Living Task Force will also be taking forward many of the actions identified in the Report on Food Dignity report produced by Voluntary Action Orkney and the Partnership.

• Orkney Child Poverty Strategy 2022-2026 
• Orkney Local Child Poverty Action Report 2021-22
• Food Dignity Recommendations Report
