Child Poverty Petition

The governmement wants to scrap child poverty targets. The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) are fighting back and you can help.

From CPAG

The government wants to make child poverty disappear. And not by fixing the problem, but by scrapping targets to end child poverty and just measuring how many children have parents in work, and how well they do at their GCSEs (you can read about why this matters here). 

So far, over 40,000 people have signed this petition calling on the House of Lords to block the legislation scrapping child poverty targets. That’s amazing – but there are so many more people out there who haven’t heard about the government’s plans to brush child poverty under the carpet. 

We believe All Kids Count. When kids grow up poor they miss out – and so do the rest of us. Making sure every child gets a fair chance in life is the right thing to do and the smartest investment we can make as a country.
