Bristol City Council have announced a new target to support at least one person from each inner-city household in Bristol to secure a salary of over £30,000 by 2030.
The target, part of the youth charity Babbasa’s ‘Our City 2030’ vision, is aimed at supporting young people to acquire meaningful employment and increasing inclusion within the workplace.
The aim of securing a median salary (£30,353) for at least one person from each inner-city household in Bristol by 2030 will be included in the city council’s One City Plan.
‘This vision aims to create real change across the city, taking individuals and families away from the poverty line,’ said Poku Osei, founder and CEO at Babbasa.
‘“Our City 2030” provides Bristol with a unique convening platform for businesses, community partners, education providers, funders, policymakers and young people to directly work together; to increase representation within the workplace, and reduce prejudice and inequality in the city we all love.’
‘By using the One City approach we know we can make a positive difference to all of Bristol’s communities,’ said the mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees.
‘We have the One City Plan in place, and by working with city partners together we can deliver it. These ambitious goals include addressing inequalities and helping all young people in Bristol to reach their full potential by 2030.’
