"Children’s lives in the UK are changing.
They are becoming shorter in height. More of them are going hungry than they were a few years ago. Recently, more have died each year than they did a few years ago. Increased poverty, more destitution & the effects of ongoing austerity are the clear culprits.

The poorest fifth of households in the UK are poorer than the poorest fifth in most of Eastern Europe"

Danny Dorling on how #UK children live today.
