Sharon Carr-Brown, Labour Party candidate for Bournemouth West has pledged to take her action for children to help break cycles of deprivation and help generations to come.

 

With around a million of today’s children facing being in trapped in the same cycle of deprivation as their parents, in the run up to the General Election, leading children’s charity Action for Children is calling on politicians to take action now and pledge their support for the vital services that provide early targeted assistance for struggling families.

 

The charity is calling on the next Government to back essential early intervention services that offer vulnerable children and families the support they need to break free from the challenges they face and stop problems being passed down through generations.

 

Signing Action for Children’s Pledge, Sharon said: "This government has invested hugely in our children - Sure Start, free nursery places, child tax credits and child trust funds. We recognise that a child's early years are the most important and we must keep pushing to end child poverty. We've done a lot and there's more to do.”

 

Action for Children helps the most vulnerable and neglected children and young people break through injustice, deprivation and inequality, so that they can achieve their full potential.
