Campaign - join in
All children deserve a good childhood. That's why we campaign tirelessly to help children trapped in a vicious circle of violence, neglect, poverty and discrimination.
We’re currently immersed in our Fair and Square, Make Runaways Safe, End Forced Destitution and End Child Poverty campaigns.
Fair and Square
Our Fair and Square campaign aims to ensure that all children in need of a free school meal receive one.
Free school meals are a crucial entitlement for families living in poverty. These meals help to ensure that children from the lowest income families receive warm, nutritious food in the middle of the day.
More than half of all school-age children living in poverty aren't getting free school meals. These 1.2 million children may not be eating a single nutritious meal all day.
Momentum is really growing behind our campaign. Over 90,000 people signed our petition which we handed in at 10 Downing Street on 12 February.
Please join in today - tell your MP to help ensure all children in poverty receive a free school meal.
Make Runaways Safe
Every year more than 100,000 children run away from home or care. And they need your help.
These children are at risk. Not only do services fail to reach at least two-thirds of them, there is a lack of awareness of their situation at both local and national level.
Together, we can draw attention to these children and help them when they’re at their most vulnerable.

End Forced Destitution
The asylum system often lets down young people and their families, leaving them vulnerable and forced to survive far below the poverty line.

End Child Poverty
