Align your firm with a high-impact charity, working to end child poverty in the UK. Founded in 1965, we have a long-standing reputation in the sector. We operate our legal services under the Specialist Quality Mark quality assurance standard.
In return for your backing we'll give your staff access to training courses, conferences and seminars, or bespoke in-house training, and a range of in-print and online handbooks and other expert resources to develop their welfare rights knowledge and skills.
By supporting CPAG you'll be helping us to challenge unfair legal decisions so children and their families in poverty have access to justice.
You can choose to fund our policy and research work, our education work with young people, welfare rights advice, our strategic litigation team and our work in Scotland. We also welcome unrestricted funding so we can direct finances to where we need them most.

Many families in poverty are negatively affected by unfair or untested law and legislation. In an area where legal aid provision is scarce, our legal interventions are crucial for safeguarding access to welfare benefits, ensuring accountability and challenging systemic issues that contribute to poverty in the UK.
You could fund a project aligned with our legal work or an additional post to increase our capacity to take on legal and welfare rights related work.

We rely on pro bono support from law firms for much of CPAG's 'own name' legal work, when we are not representing families or individuals. You could help us to challenge the structural inequalities which lead to child poverty and to push for change.
CPAG was a core participant in modules 8 and 9 of the Covid Inquiry, which looked at the treatment of children in the pandemic and the government’s economic response. In our submissions, we drew attention to the consequences of the poor level of support offered to families through the social security system.
Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP provided significant pro bono legal services during the year to enable our participation in the inquiry. The support from Norton Rose Fulbright was provided as part of their wider strategic partnership with Save the Children, one of our co-core participants in Module 8 of the Covid-19 Inquiry. Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer provided support in relation to Module 9, which involved consideration of the government's economic response to the pandemic.
You'll have a dedicated contact in our fundraising team who'll support you with your fundraising and answer any questions. We're a small, flexible team who can work with you in the best way for your organisation.
