Action for Children is a leading children's charity. In the last year, we worked with over 600,000 children, young people and families across more than 500 services, ranging from children's centres and family support to fostering and adoption. Many of those we support are struggling on a low-income. We often hear from frontline staff that families and young people they support can't afford the essentials, that benefit rates are too low, and that rising levels of hardship is getting in the way of service delivery. Poverty harms childhoods and damages children's life chances, but politicians do not have a proper strategy to tackle it. Work is often described as the best route out of poverty, but many of the families we support face complex barriers to employment. We are looking to partner with an economic research consultancy to set out a potential blueprint for change for a future government to meet some ambitious targets on child poverty.

In the last year, we worked with over 600,000 children, young people and families across more than 500 services, ranging from children's centres and family support to fostering and adoption. One aspect of this support has been our pilot into delivering Care Leavers Apprenticeships. This was initiated following an award from a Charitable Trust in 2019. This programme has seen eight care experienced young people recruited into Action for Children Apprenticeships. This funded programme ends in February 2026, and we are looking for an evaluation and research partner to review our impact to help us demonstrate the benefits of Apprenticeships for those who are Care Experienced, and to identify the challenges that coincide with this.
