End Child Poverty
@EndChildPoverty
We are campaigning for a society free from child poverty - join us to help make this a reality: http://endchildpoverty.org.uk
We have published new research w @CRSP_LboroUni showing that 47% of kids in @Keir_Starmer's constituency are growing up in poverty. Across the UK 4.5m kids are in poverty – they need action from @uklabour. Govt must scrap the 2child limit to benefit payments to ⬇️ child poverty
❗ Say it louder for the people in the back: you can't budget when you have no money. We speak to parents who are skipping meals to feed the kids and people who are terrified about rising bills. No amount of budgeting will make incomes stretch to cover the cost of essentials.
Absolutely shocking news to hear that Labour are considering U-turning on their discussions to end the cruel two child limit.
"It'll be the moral mission of this Labour government to lift children out of poverty" Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says "the decisions taken this week do make future decisions harder" regarding scrapping the two-child benefit cap #BBCLauraK bbc.in/40yBAmb
🚨 NEW: The number of people trapped in temporary accommodation has hit a record high. 131,140 households in England are living in temporary accommodation, including 169,050 children. A lack of affordable housing is driving up homelessness and pushing people to food banks.
We welcome the North East Child Poverty Action Plan. The plan is a bold step forward for children growing up in poverty in the North East, tackling the drivers of poverty and providing immediate support to families facing rising costs. More info here: northeast-ca.gov.uk/child-poverty-…

New figures reveal the continued impact of the two-child limit. Over 100 more children are affected every day. The two-child limit continues to pull even more children into poverty and have a devastating effect on children’s lives. This destructive policy must be scrapped.
“The two-child limit on benefit payments is now affecting nearly 1.7m children – an increase of nearly 40,000.” Lynn Perry, our CEO, has shared her thoughts on government stats that reveal the number of households affected by two-child limit on benefits. brnw.ch/21wU2Ic
This new data shows that 1 in 9 children are now living in homes impacted by the two-child limit Most households affected by the policy (63%) had three children, 25% had four children, 8% had five children and 4% of households had six or more children ⬇️

Another year, another set of figures showing the devastating impact of the two-child limit. How much longer do children need to suffer before action is taken? @EndChildPoverty #scrapthecap #transforminglives
Nearly 40,000 more children are missing out on vital support this year due to the 2-child benefit limit — that’s more children left behind than last year. It’s time for change. The UK Government must urgently scrap the two-child limit. #ScrapTheLimit @EndChildPoverty
Almost 40,000 MORE children are missing out on the support they need because of the 2-child limit than there were last year. @Keir_Starmer what are you waiting for? @UKLabour must urgently scrap the two-child limit. @savechildrenuk
Here is our response to today's new figures on the two-child limit from @DWPgovuk The government's 'moral mission' to tackle child poverty will fail if the two-child limit remains. We must scrap this cruel policy. endchildpoverty.org.uk/end-child-pove…

The #UK should do more to tackle child poverty and step up efforts in other areas too. See my statement⬇️ coe.int/en/web/commiss…
"The NHS is seeing the return of diseases like rickets due to malnutrition – the same illnesses tackled by our founder Thomas Barnardo more than 150 years ago": @barnardos CEO @lynnanneperry . We urge the govt to end the two child limit on benefits. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
This is incredibly worrying. The government's 'ambitious' plan to lift children out of poverty should never have been delivered at the cost of pushing disabled people into poverty. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
