3.8 million people in the UK experienced destitution in 2022, including around one million children. That’s according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation report into destitution. This is almost two-and-a-half times the number of people in 2017, and nearly triple the number of children. There is an urgent need for action to tackle destitution in the UK.
When faced with the reality of not being able to provide basic essentials for your child, where do you turn for help? In our heartfelt conversation with Emma Cantrell, founder and CEO of Children's Charity First Days, we uncover the shocking statistics surrounding child poverty and food insecurity in the UK. Emma shares the touching story of how First Days began and its growth over the past decade, now supporting over 10,000 children living in poverty by distributing more than 250 tonnes of donated goods.
We discuss the vital role of providing children with brand new items on their first day of school, granting them a sense of agency and belonging. Emma sheds light on the challenges of supplying school uniforms amidst rising costs and the disturbing fact that 20% of adults in the UK have experienced food insecurity. We delve into the impact of this crisis on families and their children's well-being and future prospects.
In this episode, Emma also shares her insights on how First Days Charity not only meets the basic needs of impoverished families but builds relationships with them to ensure they receive the help they deserve. We explore the inspiring ways the local community comes together to support those in need, as well as the importance of breaking down the stigma around asking for help.
