We campaign to end child poverty in the UK for good.

Story

I have decided to pick up the gauntlet from my parents in their continued fight to safeguard and protect children. 

I cannot match the selflessness or dedication my parents have given to looking after vulnerable children but I can support charities that really do care. 

The Child Poverty Action Group is focused on tackling child poverty across the United Kingdom and has been doing so for over 50 years. They have campaigned on multiple areas trying to ensure that it is not just working with families to help them come out of poverty, but changing government policy to ensure that they tackle the root causes. They work to ensure that the scale of people they help is broader than just an individual scenario. The work they do is truly admirable.

So, if you feel like giving money to these great people and this wonderful organisation whilst seeing me in pain then you will love this.
