Stop childcare costs for parents on Universal Credit being paid in arrears

The Big Issue has been campaigning on holiday hunger all summer.
It is a national scandal that children go hungry as they miss out on the meals they get in term time.

We at The Big Issue want to change that and make things better. For more details on The Big Issue’s holiday hunger campaign, head here:
