Reuse Network

We're one of over 120 organisations from End Child Poverty who are calling for the two-child limit to benefit payments to be scrapped by Rachel Reeves MP in the Budget this week. Since the election 12,500 more children have been pulled into poverty by the two-child limit to benefit payments. Children cannot wait for change - every day that passes more children are pulled into poverty by this policy. #EndChildPoverty #Budget
