Lynn Green is joining senior faith leaders to call for bold action on child poverty. While we come from different faith traditions, we share a belief that working to end poverty should be a hallmark of any decent, compassionate society. ow.ly/2VcL50Vmfyn @PublicIssues

[1/4] And now it’s time the government did too... Our new report, ‘Paying the Price’, provides a roadmap for how 1.2m children can be lifted out of poverty by 2030. 👉 The government can consign high levels of child poverty to the past. But it must choose to do so...

"Will the kids eat or not?" The benefit cap pushes thousands of children into poverty just because they have siblings. Time to scrap it. #LetsEndPoverty theguardian.com/society/arti…

‘Will the kids eat or not?’ In Keir Starmer’s constituency, families struggle with poverty

Alongside prosperity in Holborn and St Pancras are thousands of households for whom lifting the two-child benefit cap could mean an end to hunger

The hot weather we are experiencing this week is dangerous for people who are living on the streets as it puts them at risk of sunburn, dehydration and even heatstroke. Here are some ways you could help: #HeatwaveUK (2/2)
A male rough sleeper in a baseball cap slumped on the pavement in the heat as someone passes by. Text reads: 'Keeping rough sleepers safe during the heatwave: Offer bottles of water, offer sun cream, offer space to sit in the shade, in an emergency, always call 999.'
