Children all across the world may\u00a0need support during emergencies, and this includes children in the UK. Through our UK Emergencies Programme we work to ensure that every child has their needs met at every stage of an emergency.<\/p>\n

In the UK, our vision is of a nation in which every child has a decent, happy childhood and the chance to achieve their potential.\u00a0 Every child has the right to a good start and a fair chance in life. In the UK, one in four children live in poverty, while two in five children are unable to read well.\u00a0 In response, our UK programmes intervene early and aim to break the cycle of poverty.\u00a0 For families that struggle to provide the basic essentials for their children, we know the cost of an emergency is too great.\u00a0 Emergencies disrupt every aspect of a child\u2019s daily life from their education to family relationships, and for children from poor families, these problems are exacerbated. To ensure that children and families get support when they need it most, our UK Emergencies Programme helps families prepare for and recover from emergencies.<\/p>\n

Save the Children\u00a0UK\u00a0will lead in collaboration with Save the Children Italy on work package 4:<\/p>\n
