Campaign success stories
Our campaigning over the past year has led to:
- a government announcement that a specific minister will be responsible for the issue of protecting children from sexual exploitation
- increased support for all those waiting for a decision on their asylum claim
- high prominence given to child poverty and youth unemployment in all 3 main parties political manifestos.
Campaigning makes a difference. It's a really effective way to influence politicans and raise awareness of issues affecting children across the UK.
