4Children is an active member of the End Child Poverty coalition. 

Growing up in poverty hurts. We can see the damage that poverty does to children and to our society and are demanding a better future for all our children.

The Government has made the boldest political promise of a generation – to end child poverty. This was to halve child poverty by 2010 and end it by 2020. Although progress has been made since 1997, this progress has now stalled and the Government is not on track to meet the target.
