Children are living amid rubble in streets of total devastation in Khan Younis, .

“I’ve been to a lot of warzones and disasters, but I’ve never been in a situation where as far as the eye can see, every building is rubble.

We can take education for granted in this part of the world. But this is an image of an empty primary school playground in Bangladesh. All schools across the country remain closed because of an ongoing heatwave, as climate change impacts on the education of 33m children there!

We continue to call strongly for the scrapping of the sibling tax. It continues to be a major driver into poverty for people & this article is a strong read on its impact. 'It's made families poorer, not smaller.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We're passionate about making a practical difference to the lives of children who experience poverty. Our Early Year Grants are one way we do this - & since the start of this year we've provided families in NI with over £225k to buy food & basic essentials.

Sometimes people ask us to talk about our work with children living in poverty here. A key thing we'll mention is our Early Year Grants' programme. Through it we help hundreds of families buy the basic essentials. Here's the story of our grants since the start of this year...

No child should have to make a fatal journey in search of a better life.

We're devastated by the news of today’s loss of life in the channel, which could have been prevented.

Safe and legal routes to asylum save lives.

We're saying this at both Stormont and Westminster - scrapping the two-child limit is the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty. savethechildren.org.uk/blogs/2024/sev…

Have a listen to these parents talk about the impact childcare fees are having on their families. We were proud to join with campaigners from a host of groups on Saturday to call for urgent intervention from the Executive‼️

There’s a real buzz at Belfast’s Writers’ Square as campaigners gather to demand urgent action on childcare from the Executive. We stand with them to call for action that alleviates the stressful fees for parents & prioritises children’s development. MeltedParentsNI

Good to get the airtime on BBC Talkback to talk school uniform affordability & emphasise again how a cap on costs needs to be set by Stormont as soon as possible. Parents need to see action on this 📻 Naomi McBurney
