Child Poverty Action Group CEO gains peerage

Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) charity is proud to share the news that its chief executive since 2010 Alison Garnham has been granted a life peerage.  

CPAG has recently played a major role in bringing about a government-wide child poverty strategy,  abolition of the two-child limit and wider eligibility for free school meals. 

Ms Garnham said:

“We’ve seen some good first steps towards reducing child poverty but there is much more to do.   I look forward to working from the Lords to ensure every child in the UK has a fair start.”
