Why does a tick from me mean so much?

Thanks to generous support from people like you, we have worked on behalf of children growing up in poverty in the UK since 1965. Today more than one in four children are living in poverty, and over one million people need to visit food banks in the UK, one of the richest countries in the world.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We use our understanding of what causes poverty and the impact it has on children’s lives to campaign for policies that will prevent and solve poverty—for good. We provide training, advice and information to make sure hard-up families get the financial support they need. We also carry out high profile legal work to establish and protect families’ rights.
