Hon. Stephen Timms MP hosted a parliamentary reception to celebrate the work of the voluntary sector in tackling child poverty. The celebration also marked the launch of “Child Poverty Champions - 4in10: The End Child Poverty London Project’s (4in10) Guide to Good Practice”, featuring 16 of the best examples of good practice towards tackling child poverty in London. To download a copy of Child Poverty Champions, please follow the link below.  Samantha Hyde, Director of End Child Poverty said: “In a city as rich as ours, it is unacceptable that four in ten London children live in poverty. But voluntary and community organisations working across the capital have refused to accept this shocking injustice. The organisations featured in our good practice guide have each shown tremendous foresight and have identified imaginative and creative ideas to support children across the capital to get the possible start in life. For this they truly are child poverty champions.”  http://www.endchildpoverty.org.uk/london/news.php?id=55&nid=34 " Supporting Black and Minority Ethnic Communities" 4in10 is pleased to announce the fourth in our series of highly successful good practice sharing conferences, to be held on February 19th 2010.
