Equality Scheme 2022 to 2024 - Our plan about how to make services fairer for everyone

Things we have already done

Since 2017 we have:

  • helped more young people get into work. We did this by working with local businesses
  • started a new project to help support people from poorer backgrounds into work

  • offered free fares to some women that have had their pension date changed

  • made our bus stations and public transport safer and nicer places to be

More things we have done already: worked with local councils to make town centres nicer places to be:

  • made it easier for people from poorer backgrounds to get the skills they need

  • built lots of new houses that local people from poor backgrounds can afford

  • set up a group to look at how COVID-19 has affected people’s health and wellbeing

  • started the Include Me project. Local organisations worked together to help disabled people and people with health problems to be more active

  • set up a special group to help people who are homeless. We have helped lots of people to get their own homes

  • worked with local people to tackle fuel poverty. This is when people cannot afford the gas and electricity they need

  • looked at what we can do to stop climate change. This is really important to us
