Background

We call on the Government to redirect a portion of overseas aid—particularly the £18 billion already committed to Ukraine—toward supporting the future of British children.

Additional details

We are concerned by the years of cuts that UK children’s services have faced. Meanwhile, £18 billion has been allocated to Ukraine, including military and humanitarian aid. We believe children in the UK deserve focused support, especially those growing up in working-class communities or facing mental health struggles. We are asking for a fairer distribution of public funds to support British children.
