Our hearts are heavy for those impacted by last night’s violence. We urgently call for calm. Children’s safety must be put first. No child should have to flee home terrified for their family’s safety. No child should fear playing on the street or going to their youth club. No young person should be lured into violence by those with divisive agendas. In this part of the world we know too well where violence leads; it scars childhoods, pits communities against each other and leaves a legacy of disadvantage and trauma for the next generation. Together we must ensure every child gets to live in peace and safety. #NorthernIreland @savechildren_ni

Young people want the Scottish Government to make tackling child poverty a 'priority from day one', according to a new poll. i.stv.tv/4xmxWuL

Young people have spoken: tackling child poverty should be @scotgov's top priority in its first 100 days ⏰ Our polling @YoungScot found that tackling child poverty was the highest-ranked issue, with 66% of 2,600 young people across Scotland identifying it as a priority. 👇

How we talk about child poverty matters. That’s why our #ChangingTheStory project @jrf_uk is so important - a guide shaped by parents with lived experience to help change the narrative around child poverty in Scotland. Read more: tinyurl.com/yc5nyh6a

All families in England, Wales and Scotland will be worried about the further impact on their budgets of the energy price cap rise. But for poorer families who spend a larger percentage of their income on energy bills, this will be particularly painful. We're calling on the UK Government to introduce a discounted tariff for low income families called a "social tariff". This would help those hit the hardest.

Great to see our @EndChildPoverty statement ft in @ThirdForceNews We urge the newly re-elected @ScotGovFM to bring forward a revised child poverty delivery plan & set out how the 2030 targets will be met. There should be #NoLimitsToChildhood👇 tinyurl.com/mvzn29ev

Congratulations @ScotGovFM. We look forward to continuing to work with you to progress our shared priority of eradicating child poverty. It is the actions of this government that will determine whether we meet the 2030 targets - what a legacy this will be #NoLimitsToChildhood.

We're devastated by the reports that a missile strike on an apartment building in Kyiv has killed 24 people, including three children. Over 3,500 children have been killed or injured in Ukraine since the start of full-scale war over four years ago. Children are not part of this conflict, they’re caught in a cycle of violence they never chose. These horrors must not be normalised. Without urgent action from global leaders, including the UK Government, conflict risks becoming a lawless free-for-all where nothing is off-limits.  We refuse to let this become the new normal. Your voice has power. Take action now: bit.ly/436cdsO

Today we celebrate the life of our longest-serving volunteer, Terry Holt. Terry was born in 1923, only four years after Save the Children was founded. She recently passed away at age 102. Terry served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service between 1941 and 1948 and saw first-hand the fate of children growing up in conflict. After returning home, she founded the Cheadle and Gatley branch of Save the Children in 1953, and ran many activities and events over the years, raising a lot of money for children who need it. After seeing news coverage about Gaza, Terry felt the need to ‘do her bit’ for children there. So, for her 100th birthday, she held a mulled wine and mince pie coffee morning with the aim of raising £1,500, but ended up raising £3,000! Terry was a remarkable woman and leaves an incredible legacy. What a privilege to have had a lifetime of your support, Terry. Thank you. ❤️

As @patmcfaddenmp outlines here, the impact of poverty on children can have huge consequences for the rest of their lives. That's why we must invest in children to give them the futures they deserve. Save the Children ambassador, Shabaz Ali, interviewed the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions about what the UK Government is doing to tackle child poverty and support young people.
