The Childhood Trust defines children as living in poverty when they lack an acceptable level of material resources and experiences relative to their peers. This includes but is not limited to having a nutritious diet, participation in leisure and recreational activities, and living in homes with a minimum standard of basic amenities such as furniture, cooking facilities, hot running water, heating and free from damp and mould. All children should live free from the stress and uncertainty caused by not having enough household income to achieve these things.
Our programmes and projects improve the life chances of disadvantaged children and grow the capacity and sustainability of children’s charities in our network.
We regularly conduct research on our programmes and projects to better understand how to effect positive change in the lives of disadvantaged children and young people.
