Closed Stop the forthcoming cuts in child benefit

Closed on

Next April any family earning £40000 will lose it's right to child benefit. This represents a 7% cut in net income. A family with two children will lose £250 per month.

This will cause substantial hardship to the families concerned, is a huge drop in personal income and will cause suffering to the children of the UK. This Government is sending out an significant anti family message - please sign to help stop this.
