Alliance Youth has set up its own Group specifically to focus on the issue of child poverty.  Following the recent interim report on Child Poverty by the Committee of the First and Deputy First Minister, we felt it vital that we undertake our own work into an area that clearly is a huge problem here in Northern Ireland.  As the economy begins to take a downward turn, it is those on the edges of society who are struggling to make ends meet as it is who will be the most affected.  The knock-on consequences for our children will be huge! 

If you’re interested in contributing to the discussion on child poverty, please get in contact with Christine Dorrian or log into the Members Section of the AY Forum to give us your views on what the issues are and how we move forward.
