Thank you for buying this calendar. In doing so, you will be helping vulnerable children living in poverty in London.
The calendar has been created by a group of friends, talented artists, photographers and illustrators who wanted to create something to inspire and look forward into 2021, as well as supporting a brilliant charity.
All proceeds from the calendar will go to The Childhood Trust - www.childhoodtrust.org.uk - a London charity aimed specifically at helping children living in poverty to overcome the many disadvantages caused by poverty.
London children are much more likely to live in poor households than children in the rest of England - 37% versus 26% -and are less likely to be able to afford everyday items than those elsewhere in the country. 55% of poor children in London are materially deprived compared to 44% in the rest of England. 60% of London children in low income families do not have a week's holiday away from home.
But childhood poverty is not only about income. For many children poverty can mean uncertainty, stress, hunger, loneliness, boredom, poor health and a lack of opportunities. The most disadvantaged children fall at least two years behind their peers when they come to sit their GCSE exams and so poverty becomes a vicious circle. Please help The Childhood Trust to break that cycle.
