Dear John,

I know many of us have recently been reflecting on the things that matter the most – family, friends and causes close to our hearts.

From the early days in 1971 when I joined the organisation to the present day, CPAG has always been fearless in speaking out on behalf of children in poverty and their families.

This has particularly been the case in recent months when families across the country found themselves facing additional financial pressures because of the pandemic. CPAG’s work supporting families during this time has been crucial – and greatly helped by a gift left in the will of Daphne Norbury, a CPAG member for 32 years.

As it is Remember A Charity in Your Will Week, I have been reflecting on why Child Poverty Action Group means so much to me.

I feel immense pride at having been associated with CPAG for so long. It is not just a question of the length of my ties. I am remembering CPAG in my will so I can contribute to the security of the organisation’s future, so that CPAG is always there to provide a secure future for children and families in poverty.

By supporting the organisation in this way, I hope my gift will enable CPAG to concentrate on what it is there to do: end child poverty, once and for all.

Today, child poverty is increasing and deepening. And it is projected to get even worse. After taking care of your family and friends, even a small amount in your will can make a huge impact and will help CPAG fight child poverty for generations to come.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,

Ruth

Baroness Ruth Lister of Burtersett
Honorary President of CPAG
