IT'S TIME FOR A CHILD LOCK
In the UK the number of children living in poverty is rising: a staggering 4.3 million, or 9 in every classroom of 30.
With the price of many essentials going up, families are left struggling more and more to make ends meet. Parents are doing everything they can but if the UK government doesn’t step up and do its bit as well children will still be going to school hungry, struggling to concentrate.
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
We need to see choices being made that put children first
It’s time for the UK government to listen to children and their families and make choices to build a society that values its children, investing in their present and their future.
We need investment in children ‘locked in’
The pensions triple lock has helped to move millions of older people out of poverty by making sure their pensions keep up with rising costs. Now Save the Children is calling on the UK government to give children the same support their grandparents get by ‘locking’ investment across all aspects of children’s lives.
