Join MeltedParentsNI and others marching for childcare. We can't wait anymore. Stormont must prioritise women, parents and children. We need an anti poverty strategy with key targets to increase subsidised childcare for all children.

Life expectancy in Gaza has nearly halved from 75.5 years to 40.6 years, according to a study in The Lancet. Children in Gaza deserve to reach old-age. Children in Gaza deserve to live. 💔

76% of people are concerned about how children in poverty are impacted. We should all be concerned. Child Poverty is costing the economy £825-1bn per year. We don't even have a strategy.

We want to see a public conversation on child poverty ignited. We want to see media focus brought to it. Last week we released data that proves a majority of people don't believe the Executive is doing enough on it. Now we want to share the experiences of some Belfast young ppl:

Young people are asking for better jobs in their area, for more funding for youth clubs & for their areas to be cared for. It's time our politicians listened.
