No More Growing Up Poor! Unite! Our Children Deserve Better

11 Feb

URGENT: Join the National

Fight to End Child Poverty.

No More Growing Up Poor UK.

A Call to Action: Let’s End Child Poverty Together. 4 million children in the UK are trapped in poverty.

We are Food and Solidarity, a structured and democratic organisation, committed to improving the quality of life of the people in the neighbourhood. As an organisation established in Newcastle Upon Tyne, we have impacted lives in great measure across the city and beyond.

We’re building a national campaign of direct action—and we need you.

Our Demands

We have been campaigning since the autumn of 2024 against Child Poverty, with specific demands for the government to abolish both benefit caps, including the 2 child benefit cap, and end no recourse to public funds.

We demand the government:

Abolish the benefit caps
Scrap “no recourse to public funds’
End child poverty NOW

How We’ll Win!

The action to achieve our goal would draw from the tactics and strategy of DontPayUk (and our local actions), an organisation known for championing the campaign for collective non-payment of energy bills. Inspired by DontPayUK’s mass mobilisation tactics, we’ll use collective action to pressure politicians. But to sustain this fight, we need strong local groups like yours to keep the pressure on.

Why Act Now?

Vigilance is the price of liberty[1]. If we do not act now to save children from poverty, our future is at stake. Every day we wait, more children go hungry. Together, we can force politicians to listen. There is strength in unity; and with a common voice, we can win.
