Child poverty has reached a record high, with
4.3 million kids now facing cold homes & empty tummies.
Change is possible but we need a commitment from all parties to scrap the two child limit and increase child benefits.
Anything less would be a betrayal of Britain’s children.

ALT In a general election year, nothing should be more important to our political leaders than making things better for the country’s poorest kids. But child poverty has reached a record high, with 4.3 million kids now facing cold homes and empty tummies. We know that change is possible but we need to see a commitment from all parties to scrap the two-child limit and increase child benefits. Anything less would be a betrayal of Britain’s children.
