Child poverty blights far too many lives.
Today's strategy is a big step forward.
Now the government must work together to ensure it prevents children from facing the life-long consequences such hardship brings.

Charity shops often receive lots of toy donations in January.
If you can, consider donating toys your family no longer needs to a local charity shop now.
This is a great way to help make sure there are gift options for families who can't afford new toys 💙
Please share! 🎅
