Next week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will announce the outcome of her Spending Review. This means she will explain how much money is available for different public services and support in the coming years.
Gingerbread has joined with other national charities to call on Ms Reeves to include strong action to reduce child poverty.
Collectively, we want to see the two-child limit and the benefit cap abolished. This matters because the two-child limit is pushing over 100 children into poverty every single day. Around half of those families affected are single-parent families. Single-parent households are almost twice as likely to live in poverty compared to couple households.
Getting rid of the two-child limit and the benefit cap will immediately lift 400,000 children out of poverty. Charities including Gingerbread, Save the Children and Citizens Advice have written to the Chancellor, asking her to take action.
