US EditionReeves to launch £500m fund to help vulnerable children
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 14 – The £500 million fund aims to provide early interventions for 200,000 vulnerable children facing challenges like mental health, addiction, and crime, backed by government and social partners.
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to unveil the £500 million Better Futures Fund at a school in Wigan, aiming to support up to 200,000 vulnerable children over the next decade.
- The fund addresses increasing child poverty by bringing together public authorities, community groups, nonprofit organizations, social businesses, financial backers, and donors to tackle the diverse issues affecting children.
- Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called the Better Futures Fund a groundbreaking initiative that marks significant progress in collaborating with the impact economy to support communities and promote inclusive growth.
- Ms Reeves said she entered politics to help children facing tough challenges and believes this fund will give them a better chance, while early support could tackle school absence and mental health issues.
- The initiative plans to raise an additional £500 million from councils, investors, and philanthropists to expand programmes like the one in Westleigh, which government funding will help roll out to other areas of Wigan.
