Our events
Beating the hostile environment on welfare
Time and location
Friday 2 October, 2.45pm–4:.30pm
Buckingham Room, Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel
Huge cuts to the welfare system made since 2010 are a major driver of the rising levels of deep poverty and destitution we see today.
Meanwhile, a hostile media environment and wilful misinformation from political actors fuels negative public opinion on the welfare system, making delivering much needed investment fraught with political risk.
Join us to discuss how social security policy and can be designed and communicated to cut through the misinformation, speak to core values much of the public hold dear and deliver the lasting change needed for the millions of people struggling to get by.
Who is this event for?
This event is open to anybody attending the Green Party Conference 2026.
