The government has a mission to improve opportunity - what does that mean to you?

Poverty affects opportunities for my kids this means missing out on everyday fun, play and relaxed time with family because family outings are too expensive, and being excluded from social activities with friends because there isn’t money for a cinema ticket or birthday present. Missing educational school trips because we can not afford creating isolation and stigma. My children have to grow up fast missing out on childhood because they think of working and making life better for us.
