EDCM asks supporters to help Keep the Promise
11 August 2008
EDCM calls on supporters to help End Child Poverty
On Saturday 4th October 2008, End Child Poverty (ECP) are holding the UK’s biggest ever child poverty event, taking place in Trafalgar Square as part of the Keep the Promise campaign.
EDCM is urging all its supporters to show their support for End Child Poverty by signing up to the Keep the Promise campaign and by joining the thousands of others at the Keep the Promise event on 4th October.
The Government has made the promise of a generation - to end child poverty. With your support we can make this happen.
Steve Broach, EDCM Campaign Manager and ECP Board Member, comments:
‘Disabled children are at increased risk of living in poverty, as parents of disabled children often face barriers to accessing the workplace, and additional costs that are not covered by current benefit levels. We urge all our supporters to attend the rally and join the call to End Child Poverty.’
For more information and to sign up to Keep the Promise campaign please go to www.endchildpoverty.org.uk/promise
Access to the event for people with mobility needs
EDCM is co-ordinating the short march for children and adults with mobility needs or families with very young children. This march will leave from Whitehall Place, near Trafalgar Square, and will join the front of the main march. If you could like to join the short march, please email [email protected] with the number of people in your group and any mobility needs they have.
