Yes! I would like to become part of the movement to end child poverty in the UK. I want to hear about Child Poverty Action Group's latest stories, campaigns and how I can help support this critical work. I am happy to receive occasional updates by email, phone and post.

Poverty currently affects one in four children in Scotland, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

We believe that poverty can be solved.

Tackling poverty is good for us all, and we believe that social security should help enable children to access all the opportunities available to them.

Increasing child benefit by just £5 a week for every child could lift 30,000 children out of poverty.

Scotland has new social security powers. We believe the Scottish Government should take every opportunity to help children and families out of poverty, including “topping up” child benefit.

The Give Me Five Campaign is calling for the 2018/19 budget and Scottish Government spending plans to include a top-up of child benefit by £5 per week.
