One area of Lancashire has the highest level of youngsters are living in child poverty in the UK at at 43.2%
Thousands of children across Lancashire are growing up in poverty with campaigners saying they are being "failed" and "forgotten".
There were an estimated 4.33 million children in UK households in relative low income after housing costs in the year to March 2023. This is up from 4.22 million the previous year and is above the previous high of 4.28 million in the year to March 2020. "We cannot go on like this. There is no reason children should be going without food, heating, toys, or beds.
"But child poverty has reached a record high, with 4.3 million kids now facing cold homes and empty tummies." Calling on the Government to “urgently focus on reducing child poverty”, she and the other campaigning organisations repeated demands to scrap the two-child limit on benefit payments and for an essentials guarantee to ensure households can cover basic costs such as food and household bills. The estimated total number of people in relative low income was at 14.35 million in the year to March 2023, down from 14.40 million the previous year, according to official Government figures.
