Aiming to make your weekend BETTER!

End Child Poverty (ECP)

3.8 million children – one in three – are currently living in poverty in the UK, one of the highest rates in the industrialised world. This is a shocking figure given the wealth of our nation.

The National Youth Agency is one of the organisations supporting the End Child Poverty (ECP) campaign. ECP aims to help the government achieve its target to halve child poverty in the UK by 2010 and end it by 2020. However, without significant action to end bad housing, poor education, employment, childcare and income, these targets will be difficult to reach.
