Today I joined the #TheBigHelpOut with millions of others to celebrate the contribution of volunteers to our communities.

My Labour government will work with communities across Britain to deliver the change our country needs.

@jonsopel YES!

[Ed Large @ed_largey]

@markrusselluk Absolutely! There are also much better ways of encouraging volunteering, skills development and social action which could be supported with a fraction of the funding.

[Ed Large @ed_largey]

Ending the two-child limit ‘sibling penalty’ on benefit payments would immediately lift 250,000 children out of poverty. We urge all political parties to make this a top priority. https://t.co/MyF0SJGtcm

[Mark Russell @markrusselluk]

The next government should pass a law within 100 days that would commit to eradicating child poverty for good

Ahead of the #GeneralElection, it is crucial that the needs of babies, children and young people are prioritised. We want to work with all UK parties to put #ChildrenAtTheTable.

“Empathy and understanding from people in power would go a long way in helping young people like me.” Children deserve safer, happier, and healthier childhoods.
