Thank you to @NIOgov @PutneyFleur @bphillipsonMP for meeting with us @TheAtlasCentre to discuss the UK Child Poverty Strategy & its implications for NI’s Anti-poverty policy development - families in NI need all levels of gov working for change so all can afford essentials 🤞⭐️

Today's budget took some steps towards supporting low-income families – but it hasn’t gone far enough to help families forced into hardship by sickness, nor addressed the two-child limit and benefit cap. #AutumnBudget #ChildPoverty #AllKidsCount actionforchildren.org.uk/blog/labours-f…
Some welcome announcements today on employment support, debt deductions and carer's allowance. But the government can’t fix the foundations of our country without breaking down the barriers trapping millions of children in hardship. Read our full response: actionforchildren.org.uk/media-centre/a…
There are welcome policies in today’s #Budget, but these are tweaks rather than the systemic change that is needed. Babies, children and young people can’t wait. Read the Children’s Charities Coalition statement 👇childrenatthetable.org.uk/autumnbudgetre… #ChildrenAtTheTable
We know that applying to uni can be a daunting time for care leavers. Jessica-Rae felt the same, however she’s studied broadcast journalism and will graduate this year! 🎙️ She’s shared why she chose to #TicktheBox on her UCAS application. ⤵️ thefosteringnetwork.org.uk/blogs/jasminer…
#TicktheBox week is here! ✅ Throughout Care Leavers week, we're going to be talking about the importance of care experienced people ticking the box on their @ucas_online application to indicate they have spent time in care. Follow along for stories and tips! 🙌 #NCLW
Some welcome #Budget2024 news on debt deductions, and now an increase to the Carer's Allowance earnings limit. We called for this in our joint Budget submission alongside @CarersTrust, @CPAGUK & others. A positive step, and one we'd like to see go further. tinyurl.com/3c4tvzem
