Nearly 40,000 more children are missing out on vital support this year due to the 2-child benefit limit — that’s more children left behind than last year. It’s time for change.
The UK Government must urgently scrap the two-child limit.

Half a million children could be lifted from poverty by removing the two-child limit says Children's Commissioner.
The SVP agrees.
Ending the two-child cap is the single most powerful action the government can take to tackle the scandal of child poverty.

As an anti-poverty charity, we want a welfare system that supports the vulnerable.
We welcome the Government announcing a #UniversalCredit rise, freezing PIP rates & £1bn for employment support.
We await details on the new PIP assessment. We’re concerned about the impact of disability changes.
