The cruel two child limit has driven countless families into hardship, forced to turn to food banks to survive.
With it fully and swiftly ended, we can help ensure all children have a fair start in life, ease pressure on public services and boost our economy.

Our social security system should be protecting families who don't have enough money for life's essentials.

Fully removing the two-child benefit cap is the most effective way to support struggling families.
It would lift 470,000 children out of severe hardship.
That’s a no brainer, isn’t it?!

In practice, that means families lose about £3,200 per year, per child.
That means a family with 3 kids could be missing out on over £60 a week – that’s money parents need to pay for food, nappies and supplies for school.

We all know how quickly life changes.
Families who were getting by fine raising 3 kids, but suddenly get sick or made redundant, are being left with no option but to turn to a food bank.
The two-child limit penalises families for having kids when they were financially stable.

6. Being able to afford a coffee with friends or a chocolate bar for the kids.
When you can’t even afford food, small joys or treats can be simply unaffordable. This is leaving people feeling isolated and lonely, and parents feeling constant guilt.

5. Having a support system: family and friends who can support you, and a community you can reach out to.
When something unexpected happens, a friend or family member might be able to help you. But if they don’t have enough money themselves, you are more likely to face hunger.
