Our Work

4in10, London’s Child Poverty Network, co-ordinates and leads a whole host of activities to both support our members and put the policy spotlight on the state of child poverty in London.

Events

4in10 run events both for and collaboratively with our members. From information sessions to capacity building workshops, we aim to provide a diverse and useful offering for our members.

We also run sessions we call ‘Child Poverty Free Community’ events which take place in a specific London borough at which we hope to get to know our members in that locality better and hear about the issues that they are facing. We aim to provide a space to listen, learn, network and explore how we can support members to get involved in our work.

Policy and Campaigning

4in10 undertakes policy campaigning work relating to a wide range of issues relevant to child poverty in London. For example drawing on the findings of research undertaken in partnership with members we run our ‘Make Childcare Make Sense’ campaign for affordable and accessible childcare for families living on low incomes in London.

4in10 also supports and amplifies the campaigning and policy work of its members, details of which can be found in our Members Activity section. For example we are currently supporting The Magpie Project REACH team’s campaign ‘No Child in a Home without a Kitchen.’

Research

4in10 conduct a range of research on topics relating to child poverty in London. Our research priorities are is to produce research in which is beneficial for our members and to also support and produce research on subjects that we are informed of by our members.

Our most recent pieces of research include:

  • ‘Make Childcare Make Sense’ which looked at the barriers faced by families in London, living on low incomes, when trying to access childcare.
  • ‘Flying Against Gravity’ – an exploration into attitudes and experiences of poverty in London in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you are a 4in10 member, and you are interested in conducting research – get in touch with 4in10 to see how we may be able to enable or support you.
