The RESULTS National Conference 2019 will address the important topic of how we respond to a changing world to make sure that international development efforts reach everyone, no matter where they live.

Well-spent international aid isn’t about giving hand-outs, but helping people create sustainable communities in which they can take control of their own futures. Many countries are becoming less dependent on aid, but far too many lives are still blighted by extreme poverty, insecurity and inequality. How can we reach those most in need?

It is vital that the progress we have made so far in ending extreme poverty isn’t reversed, and that no one is left behind. We all have a part to play in calling for a better world in which everyone can fulfil their potential. What’s your role? Come and find out!

The conference will be held on the weekend of 1-2 June 2019, with our usual Advocacy Day on Monday 3 June, when we will visit Whitehall and Westminster to make our voices heard!
