Even before the pandemic, children’s happiness with life was at its lowest for a decade, says the Children's Society.

Anti-poverty charity Z2K is asking people to share their thoughts on what the housing and social security systems should look like, in its #LifeAfterLockdown campaign.

A free phone line offering hymns, prayers, and reflections after church buildings closed because of the coronavirus is to continue, with calls topping more than two million minutes.

Without urgent action to protect children their life chances could be seriously damaged, which will cause enormous harm not only to them, but also to the economy in the long-run, says the Children's Society.
