Every child deserves love, stability and protection, but too often those growing up in care face instability and struggle to access vital support. Yesterday, our CEO, Lynn Perry, urged MPs and Peers to do more to uphold these children’s rights. #chidlrensrights #SocialCareReform.

Over one third of UK children could be in poverty by 2029/30. Ending the two-child limit and benefit cap would lift 500k children out. With the #ChildPovertyStrategy due, the Government must deliver on its ambitious plan and act now. Read more: brnw.ch/21wVmy5
