London Challenge Poverty Week

London Challenge Poverty Week was coordinated by 4in10: London’s Child Poverty Network between 2018 and 2024, working in partnership with The Poverty Alliance who coordinate Challenge Poverty Week in Scotland and Church Action on Poverty who coordinate Challenge Poverty Week  England and Wales.  

During that time hundreds of organisations and individuals have taken part; holding events big and small across the city; writing reports and blogs; speaking truth to decision makers; and posting and debating online. We should be hugely proud of our collective efforts to challenge stereotypes of what it means to live in poverty and help open minds to new ways of thinking about these issues.

But times change and after careful evaluation we feel that the time is now right to move on and explore different ways of campaigning together for a child poverty free London.

To review what was achieved in 2024 and previous years do check out the LCPW website, which will remain live for a short while as a testimony to the hard work so many put in to make the campaign the success it was.

Going forward we will be working hard to open up more opportunities for our members to get involved in campaigning for a poverty free London. If you aren’t already a member, join up to make sure you hear about them.
