Charlie Waller joins over 150 organisations calling on Government

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been widespread, affecting the lives of every child and young person in the country. This generation of children face unprecedented threats to their childhoods. They deserve an unprecedented response.

We are one of 152 organisations making a call to Government to put babies, children and young people at the heart of the coronavirus response.

Our joint statement, also signed by major children's charities and Charlie Waller Trust's partner organisations in the mental health sector, calls on Government to embrace a new vision of childhood and set out their solutions to the pressing issues facing children and young people, including child poverty, mental health, and school closures.

Children and young people are joining our call and raising their voices on social media, using #ChildrenAtTheHeart and #PowerOfYouth to share their priorities for recovery.

Show your support on social media and call for the Government to put #ChildrenAtTheHeart of the recovery from Coronavirus.
