Tell your MP: Children shouldn't have to pay the price of poverty

Millions of children in the UK are growing up anxious, ashamed and isolated.

It’s relentless. And it doesn’t just affect their childhood. The harms caused by child poverty can last a lifetime. 

But child poverty isn't inevitable. It doesn't have to be this way. And it’s time to act. 

The government will soon publish its plan for child poverty. If it makes the right choices, it could deliver transformational change: lifting more than a million children out of poverty by the next Parliament.

But without enough ambition and investment, this opportunity will be missed. We haven’t got long to share this message with the government. 

Will you take action for children in poverty today?
