🚨 Child poverty should not be normalised 🚨 Today, new shocking figures from @DWPgovUK show 100,000 more children are living in poverty than last year. There's no excuse for children to go without food, warmth, or basic necessities. It's time for the UK government to scrap unfair policies like the #SiblingTax and improve the lives of thousands of families 👉bit.ly/47HZJaV #EndChildPoverty #HBAIStats

Very pleased yesterday to transfer the funds for our first grant to @PelicanParcels . It’s supporting their new CRM system which is going to be pretty transformational. Keep an eye on this brilliant baby bank. They are going places!

“No society can or should be at ease when children are being brought up in houses without heating, kitchens without cookers, bedrooms without beds, floors without floor covering, or toilets without toilet roll or soap.” @GordonBrown we have to provide items like this daily 😢

@BabyBasicsUK @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire We’re seeing the same, a constant rise in demand for support for basics like beds. We’re in dire shape and we’ll said about the professionals who are working so hard for families 🥰

We're so grateful for funding received from @DCMS and @TNLComFund Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund. It's supported us to help even more local children living in poverty. Thanks to the Government for making this possible.

The combined impact of the benefit cap and two-child limit on welfare support are set to increase child poverty rates in families with at least three children from 34 per cent in 2013-14, when the benefit cap was first introduced, to 51 per cent by the end of the decade.

We know nobody wants to think about it getting cold again - however over winter we give out a large blanket in every parcel to every child. So if you know any #knitting groups who could support this, or your nan is the speediest #knitter in Britain, please get in touch🙏 #charity

A survey of 1,000+ school staff in every role in England shows child poverty is ripping through school communities. @CPAGUK is calling for urgent government action on child poverty. Read the full survey here: bit.ly/3sZxrtT @JasonElsom
