Nothing prepared me for the child poverty I see in Britain. NovemberrCOs budget can and must halt its inexorable rise
Gordon Brown

Run-down housing estates in BritainrCOs former industrial heartlands remind
us of the poverty described by George Orwell in The Road to Wigan Pier in
1937 rCo but these days there is no Orwell to chronicle what the arithmetic
of deprivation means for families condemned to lives of poverty.

Millions of children, as the childrenrCOs commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, told us this summer, are faring very badly, living in rCLalmost Dickensian levels of povertyrCY. And what she calls the striking awareness children have of being poor requires us to find a modern-day
Dickens to hear their voices.

For the past two years rCo and from my experience of working with a new charity, Multibanks UK, which complements food banks by offering clothing, bedding, hygiene goods and baby goods for families in need rCo I, like the childrenrCOs commissioner, have been seeing the hidden injuries of poverty. ItrCOs not only the shortage of basic essentials as food prices rise far faster than wages and child benefits. ItrCOs the totality of the conditions
in which so many of the generation I call austerityrCOs children rCo young people born into poverty in the Tory years rCo are living: homes without heating, bedrooms without beds, kitchens without kitchen utensils, floors without coverings and even toilets without toilet rolls.
