CHILD POVERTY IS A SOCIAL INJUSTICE

4 million children, one in three are currently living in poverty in the UK. This is a high rate for an industrialised world and it is shocking but the figures don't bare thinking in the third world countries.

Poverty in itself is something no child should have to endure. Other than a profound impact poverty has on a child, their family, and the rest of society, it often sets in motion a deepening spiral of social exclusion, creating problems in education, employment, mental and physical health and social interaction.
