More than one in four children in the UK are growing up in poverty. It doesn’t have to be like this. Child Poverty Action Group works to prevent and end child poverty – for good.
Follow the growth and development of CPAG, from the 'rediscovery of poverty' in the 1960s through our many campaigns to the passing of the Child Poverty Act in 2010 and beyond.
Child Poverty Action Group is a centre of expertise and campaigning on child poverty, welfare rights, and related issues such as fair pay, childcare, benefits and tax credits. Our spokespeople regularly feature on television, radio and in print media.
We are producing quarterly briefings summarising our evidence, the difficulties claimants are facing with managed migration and any steps the DWP is taking in response.
