So proud of these brilliant women speaking out on behalf of families and children in poverty. They’ve been giving evidence to Stormont’s Communities Committee. Their challenge - why are children here being left behind compared to rest of UK. (Atlas Women’s Centre/ Women’s Support Network / NIAPN)

It’s the news we’ve been advocating for! The scrapping of the 2-child limit is a powerful step forward for the 1 in 10 families impacted here! @savechildrenuk.bsky.social

We’re heading to Stormont to stand with other organisations in a final push to have the 2-Child Limit fully scrapped in the Budget. The Chancellor has the power to help many families here! All children deserve a decent start in life. @Trusselluk #everychildcounts

It was brilliant to participate in today's conference and roundtable on International Humanitarian Law with Irish Red Cross. Really timely discussion in the face of increasing violations of IHL and erosion of norms - with children paying a particularly devastating price.

Stormont's consultation on its draft Anti-Poverty Strategy ends tomorrow & there can only be one logical outcome. A total rewrite! 75 orgs who work with the most disadvantaged children reject it! Surely these calls, informed by real lives & rising hardships, can’t be ignored?🧵

Big shout out to this bunch of young superstars who have raised almost £2k for our Gaza appeal by completing a sponsored run at Stormont. Some ran 3k, some +4k and the rest in between! They smashed it & have raised vital funds for children in Gaza who devastatingly continue to suffer so much.

With just a few days to go until the close of Stormont’s consultation on its draft anti-poverty strategy, we’ve been to some women’s support groups in Belfast to find out what people think of it. They told us about the suffering & pressure being felt in communities… 🗣️

A team of brilliant volunteers from Save the Children’s popular Holywood store in Co Down got to meet our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, at Hillsborough Castle. They chatted about volunteering and their passion that all children at home and around the world get the support they need to thrive.

3 weeks until consultation ends on the Executive’s draft Anti-Poverty Strategy. It’s Not fit for purpose & +75 community orgs & leaders have called for it to be withdrawn. We’ve created a toolkit with easy read doc & form for you to share thoughts. Here’s our guide to the APS (1)

We’re at @ShankillWomens talking about Stormont’s draft Anti-Poverty Strategy. Women Support Network & Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick leading the conversation. Some views here: “It’s a total insult & shows a lack of engagement.”/ “They can’t tell us a route out of poverty.”/ “Did they meet ordinary people?”

Earlier in the year we told you about our #Listen2Learn project where 70 children from 6 schools told us what helps them learn & grow. Now we’ve gone back to work with the young people & co-produce a child friendly version of our report. We can’t wait to see what they create!
