Poverty Kills Childhood: Save the Children’s UK Programme Annual Report 2009

In 2009, we lobbied 10 Downing Street to meet the government’s promise to end child poverty.

We provided children from London to Glasgow with video cameras to give other people – including MPs and policy-makers – an insight into what it’s like growing up in deprived communities.

We worked with some of the UK’s best-known companies and with highly motivated groups of young people to tackle poverty at the grassroots and inspire change.

And, as the recession hit, we gave emergency funds to families who needed them most.
