We travelled across the UK, placing billboards in key MPs' constituencies, to show them the faces of real children impacted by the #2ChildLimit.
These children endure the effects of this policy every day. Join us in demanding the policy's removal at the upcoming UK Autumn Budget.

Media coverage of our project in Ashton alongside @AshtonUnitedFC, @AUITC, @smallshawhurst and @savechildrenuk. Over 250 children have taken on the role of sports journalists in recent months and many will attend and report on a live match next month

Our six weeks working with Year 5 at @hurstknollstja ended this morning with some terrific opinion pieces on sports stars and politics. It’s been a super half-term becoming sports journalists back at the school, in partnership with @AshtonUnitedFC, @smallshawhurst and @AUITC ✍️📰

Today I chaired a meeting with @Gingerbread, @actnforchildren, @CarersTrust, @childrensociety and @savechildrenuk. It was powerful to gain an insight into parents’ first-hand experiences of barriers to work, and what policies would help people overcome those challenges.

Thank you @smallshawhurst for your generous donation of books. Our children can’t wait to read them!

Over the past two days Year 5 and 6 have been working with @literacykicks in partnership with @AUITC and @smallshawhurst to become amazing sports journalists! They have written some fantastic pieces of writing including a match report and even researched a Paralympic athlete.

At #CPC2023, the Chancellor has failed to point out that the majority of people on #UniversalCredit are in work, and those that are struggling to pick up hours are often facing #childcare battles, or have a disability or a serious health problem.
It’s a complete fallacy that people are actively seeking a life on benefits. The so-called “safety net” of #UniversalCredit is so low that 90 percent of low-income families are regularly going without an essential like regular meals, a hot shower, or heating according to @jrf_uk

"Save The Children don't work in the UK...do they?"
In fact, our work in the UK is needed now more than ever...

Another brilliant session! The children love these sessions so much.
Brilliant to be back @hurstknollstja to start a new six-week programme with Year 5 this morning, with the class immersing themselves in becoming sports journalists at a major football international. In partnership with @AUITC, @smallshawhurst and @savechildrenuk ✍️📰

This afternoon we were back at @ChristophersRc to begin working with a new Year 5 class, who produced some terrific match reports in their first Literacy Kicks session. In partnership with @AUITC, @smallshawhurst and @savechildrenuk ✍️📰

We know hot weather can be challenging for young ones.
Here are some tips on how to help them sleep at night from our Early Years Experts. Please share.

📽 Footage features actors from our short film, #PotentialNotPoverty. #BackToSchool #FreeSchoolMeals
Smallshaw Hurst Children's Community retweeted
1 in 3 children in poverty miss out on #FreeSchoolMeals because their household income is more than £7,400.
New research shows the majority of voters think this threshold is inadequate.
The UK government must #FeedtheFuture & expand free school meals to children in families on #UniversalCredit.

All children – no matter what situation they’re born into – should get a fair chance to realise their dreams

Don’t let poverty hold children back ❌
We worked with young people to write, storyboard and shoot a film about how poverty can hold children back from reaching their potential.

The holidays can be tough for parents because of the #costofliving.
'It’s hard as a parent knowing that children are missing out – socialising, spending time with friends, doing what children should be doing,' Emma @smallshawhurst tells @theipaper
