Downloads & Resources
Life for some people in Doncaster can be a real struggle, some people cannot easily access the things in life we consider essential such as food and heating, or spend lots of their time alone and feel isolated. This situation was highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic and has worsed due to the rising cost of living, putting a real squeeze on household incomes. People and families should not have to choose between energy, food and essentials.
Poverty in all its forms affects people’s well-being and through Doncaster Delivering Together, our borough plan, we have identified the basic things that we believe all people in Doncaster should be able to access and enjoy.
The Fairness and Well-being Commission has worked to to gather evidence on the experiences of people who live and work in Doncaster to better understand the challenges and opportunities they face. It has worked to make an independent strategic assessment of the nature, extent, and causes of inequalities in Doncaster and make recommendations for tackling them in the medium and long term to improve well-being across the borough.
Fairness and Wellbeing Commission Final Report
The commission has operated a similar way to that of a parliamentary select committee, mounting a short, focussed enquiry, taking evidence and producing a final written report. The final Fairness and Wellbeing Commission Report outlines recommendations for the future of our community with the objective to create conditions that enable all Doncaster residents to thrive, reach their full potential, and experience good levels of health and wellbeing. You can find below the final Fairness and Wellbeing Commission report, alongside a summary of the commissions recommendations that are also available in an easy read format. Supporting documents can be found in the appendix below.
