Charity Calls for 'Major' Social House Building Drive for Families

A charity has called for a ‘major’ building programme of social and affordable homes, as part of a new report. Research by 4Children, which interviewed 2,221 people, found that 27 per cent of parents agreed that better housing would make a positive difference to their family life. The results led the charity to call on the government, within its report Making Britain Great for Children and Families, for the social building programme, along with a commitment to tackle the issues in ‘problem estates’ and build positive communities for children and families, including action on gangs. The Family Commitment campaign also calls on the government to carry out a major overhaul of support for vulnerable families. Download a copy of the report from the 4Children website.
