We've signed this call - along with 60 other orgs - to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility here. #TenIsTooYoung
Ahead of Ireland’s EU Presidency we’ve come together with other organisations to call for children’s rights to be embedded at the heart of the EU agenda. 1 in 5 children are impacted by conflict around the world. We want them to be prioritised!
Let's be honest the poverty picture is complex. Latest UK Gov stats show 1 in 5 children in NI in poverty. 1 in 3 in some of our communities! But we believe there's a deeper story of a widening inequality gap for children here when it comes to support given across these islands!
We stand with voluntary and community sector staff this week as they face into a funding cliff-edge. These people are frontline and on the ground, serving many who face profound challenge & disadvantage @nicva.org
Much focus at Stormont today on under pressure families & soaring living costs. 3 yrs since holiday hunger payments were axed MLAs debate a Private Members' Bill from @dannybakersf.bsky.social to see them reinstated. Currently children here are treated unequally compared to rest of UK & Ireland.
We’re at the 1st ever Irish Network on Education Worldwide (INEW) conference talking about the impact of conflict on children’s education. With everything going on around the world right now this is a crucial & timely conversation!
Our CEO Moazzam Malik on BBCNI's Talkback speaking on the plight of 1 in 5 children who live in conflict zones. He spoke movingly about impact on children in Middle East & Sudan: "Don't look away, we need to keep our eyes on the conflict & recognise our common humanity." @savechildrenuk.bsky.social
“Poverty pressures are getting louder. We all want to make this work. For the sake of the children who live it every day we’re asking – when will a plan on poverty get real? @irishnews.com @savechildrenuk.bsky.social www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

Tragically we say it again - no child should be exploited through fear and hate for violent ends. No community should have to cower in fear of violence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Latest child poverty stats didn't get pick-up in NI media last wk but we want to keep sharing about impact on the children behind the data. There's a story of widening inequality in terms of support offered to families here. We can't be silent on this! www.savethechildren.org.uk/news/media-c...
