People Power: Keep the Promise rally organised by End Child Poverty
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
Last weekend's Keep the Promise rally - organised by the End Child Poverty campaign - lived up to expectations as 10,000 people marched through central London, calling on the government to keep its promise and put an end to child poverty in the UK by 2020.
Hilary Fisher, director of End Child Poverty, said: "Around 3.9 million children in this country live in poverty. Public pressure is vital to make the government keep its pledge to put an end to child poverty in the UK."
