Our response to the latest figures on child poverty
Why we do what we do.
The latest figures from Save the Children* on child poverty in the UK and especially in London show how much our services are still needed. Living in poverty is, and always has been, one of our main criteria for allocating a child a break.

London faces levels of child poverty worse than any other major developed country and the situation is not improving. There are 630,000 children living in relative poverty in London, living in households with below 60% of median income. That represents 39% of all children who live in London – 44% of the children in inner London. There has been little or no change to these figures over the last decade.
Our service offers children the opportunity to fulfil their potential and to achieve success whilst they are away. This experience provides excellent motivation for when they return home and to school. It also offers a chance to experience new environments and activities which may spark something for future success.
