You’ve probably heard about someone cutting ties with their family in the news…
Can you imagine what it’s like for young people who are abandoned by, or have to cut ties with their family with no financial safety net?

Imagine not being able to keep up with your schoolwork because you don’t have the laptop you need? That’s the reality for the children that we support. Your £75 gift can double to £150 which would pay for a laptop for a child.

Did you know we give grants for Christmas trees?
The first are going to families who are having to start fresh after violence in their homes meant they haven’t had their own consistent home for a while.
We hope they can feel a little extra holiday cheer this year!

Our new report found that 65% of children in poverty feel their dreams and aspirations weren’t possible because of the financial hardship they face. We're hoping to hear something positive for these children in the budget announcement.

We're delighted to be supporting more children and young people in Blackpool! We visited the schools and local authority staff in September, and discovered a quick way to increase grants to this area. 🤔Where should we visit next?

With our friends @endchildpoverty.bsky.social ,we have united in Westminster today to call on Rachel Reeves to scrap the two-child limit to benefits in next week’s Budget.
It pulls 109 more children into poverty, every single day. Many of these are babies.

"I don't think that it's right that a child is penalised because they are in a bigger family, through no fault of their own". That's what Rachel Reeves said in an interview yesterday evening.
We really hope this is the hint we've been waiting for to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.
