Check out of our free food themed events for summer- all sorts, from film nights to fun days and all free 🤩
Also remember to take a moment to hop onto our website to sign the petition to support the people who need it:
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again:
The two-child limit drives up child poverty and harms kids.
Getting rid of the policy would cut child poverty overnight.
We want all parties to make serious commitments on child poverty. That must include ending the two-child limit.
Imagine not being given the right amount of money just to afford to basics let alone birthday or Christmas presents or cup of coffee!! 🫢

Sign our petition in our website which asks the government to put universal credit in line with the living wage 💥

Poverty is a political choice and if this Government are serious about tackling rising child poverty they must #EndTheTwoChildCap
⚠️ New research by @EndChildPoverty has shown 1.5 million children are now affected by the two-child limit.
CEO @GrahamWhitham said: "The two-child limit denies families the support they need from our social security system, forcing parents into horrible choices."
#AllKidsCount
New figures published today show the impact of the “two-child limit” on families receiving #UniversalCredit and tax credits 🚨
