Dear [PARTY MANIFESTO WRITER],

I believe in children. I believe they should be given every opportunity to turn their lives around. When putting together your manifesto show me that [PARTY] believe in children too.

Like Barnardo’s, I am worried that in the struggle to balance public spending any investment for the most vulnerable children and families will be cut.

Can you make it clear how [PARTY] is looking to support them by committing to protect children from the damaging effects of poverty and working to close the gap between the rich and poor?

I would also urge you to set out how you will provide support for families most in need at the earliest possible stages to enable them to turn their lives around.

I look forward to hearing from Barnardo’s about the strong stance your manifesto has taken, and how you have engaged with them at this time.

Thank you for showing that you believe in children too.

Yours sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
