We’re launching our new report on child & youth homelessness in London, created with parents, young people and frontline staff. It highlights what drives homelessness and the policy changes that could prevent and shorten it.

Join us in Westminster on 26 Nov, 6–8pm

Incredibly fruitful first day of my visit to the #UnitedKingdom, listening to civil society on important #HumanRights issues such as child poverty, migration, observance of the European Convention on Human Rights, protest restrictions and the situation of trans people

So pleased to have been able to support @commissionerhr.coe.int to visit members of the 4in10 Network @magpieprojectuk.bsky.social & @xlplondon.bsky.social to listen to mums and young people about their experiences.

Poverty is absolutely a human rights issue first and foremost

With the deputy PM Angela Rayner confirming at #PMQs that next week's vote on rushed and harmful disability benefit cuts will go ahead, the clock is ticking.

Don't delay - join the 1,400 people who have already taken action and write to your MP👇

V. pleased to see @london.gov.uk making this statement in defense of rights of disabled Londoners

Children living in family where someone is disabled have much higher poverty rates (36% compared to 25% in a household where no-one is disabled in 21/22) - these changes wld also impact child pov rates

9.3 million people are facing hunger & hardship in UK

In yr to Mar 25 Trussell provided 156,820 food parcels for London's children

We support @trusselluk.bsky.social & @jrf-uk.bsky.social 's call to Guarantee our Essentials

A future where all can afford essentials is possible #EssentialsGuarantee

This sheer excitement at a helicopter landing outside our building today reminds us that these are not migrant children, nor children of families seeking asylum - our minis are children and A CHILD IS A CHILD IS A CHILD.🧡

New figures released by the government today are shocking. Child poverty has reached a new record high with 4.5 million children falling below the poverty line in the year to April 2024. This is an increase of 100,000 from the previous year.

New evidence confirms that migrant children aren't accessing the early years support they need.

A huge 40% of migrant parents not using childcare said they are or their partner are unable to get a job at all. Being locked out of childcare stops parents working and pushes families into poverty.

BREAKING: We screened a message from migrant parents across Westminster.

Hostile immigration rules enforced by this Govt. drive children into poverty.

🔊End child poverty, for EVERY child. Scrap No Recourse to Public Funds.

Make sure they know, we won’t let this go. Share now.
