European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion 2010
The European Union (EU) and its member states are strongly committed to the fight against poverty and social exclusion.
The EU Commission has designated 2010 as the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. This reaffirms and strengthens the commitment for the EU, set out in the Lisbon Strategy, to make "a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty".

UK National Programme
The UK Government is pleased to present its National programme for the 2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
We are confident that the UK National Programme will encourage debate about the challenges that remain, and about the new challenges that we face. We expect the Year to reinforce political and public commitment to this agenda both in the UK and across the EU, and to emphasise both collective and individual responsibility in the fight against poverty and social exclusion.
