Children at the heart of the election 

This election period, we want all candidates from all parties to make a commitment to tackle child poverty. We've put together the big things we're calling for from the next government in a manifesto. We want the next government to invest in children's benefits, bring in a child poverty strategy and build a more effective social security system for us all. 

We'll be asking you to help us campaign when all the candidates have been announced, but in the meantime, please share our manifesto and talk to your friends about why all the parties must commit to tackling child poverty.

Celebrating 20 years of CPAG in Scotland

CPAG in Scotland's director John Dickie has been reflecting on all that CPAG in Scotland has achieved and what still needs to be done to tackle child poverty in Scotland.

Talking to those with experience

As part of London Challenge Poverty week, we published a blog from Paul Dornan of ATD Fourth World looking at the importance of speaking to all experts on poverty, including those with direct experience. And our family panel published their report: Pushing Back: our take on life in poverty in London and a video. 

Celebrating our fundraisers

A huge thank you to Amy Ertan who took on a Spartan half marathon in early October for CPAG. The epic challenge took her over 5 hours to complete and saw her wading through mud, lifting 60kg bags of concrete and scaling inverted walls. With matched funding from her employer, Amy has raised an incredible £1,240!
