Children are paying the price of poverty and families are being hit by the two-child limit. The government must scrap the two-child limit and benefit cap in its new child poverty strategy in Autumn. Please help us take action, write to your MP: bit.ly/3GqZTMh

This message is for Keir Starmer. Almost 1.7 million children are missing out on the support they need because of the 2-child limit. We urge the UK Govt to scrap the 2-child limit, to prevent children being denied the childhood they deserve. Write to your MP: bit.ly/3GKJVfS
