How to help children in poverty in the UK

Cash benefits, also known as cash transfers, are one of the most important ways to support children and families affected by poverty.

We also call upon the government to invest in services that enrich children’s lives, including education, health and nutrition.

We are working tirelessly in the UK to tackle child poverty through several dedicated programmes, by:

• Creating school environments where children can thrive and achieve their best potential.
