The Financial Costs Of Family Breakdown Are

The Financial Costs Of Family Breakdown Are Incredibly High.

For Families Across The Uk Who Are Income-poor, But More Than That, Whose Lives Are Blighted By Worklessness, Educational Failure, Family Breakdown, Problem Debt And Poor Health, As Well As Other Problems, Giving Them An Extra Pound - Say Through Increased Benefits - Will Not Address The Reason They Find Themselves In Difficulty In The First Place.

For Those Who Are Able To Work, Work Has To Be Seen As The Best Route Out Of Poverty. For Work Is Not Just About More Money - It Is Transformative. It's About Taking Responsibility For Yourself And Your Family.

Gang Members Have Invariably Grown Up In Broken, Chaotic Homes, Often Experiencing Domestic Violence; They Have Truanted From School And Many Have Been Formally Excluded; And They Live In Neighbourhoods Where Worklessness, Addiction And Crime Are Rife.

All I Can Say To The Others Is, 'look Out, We're On Our Way.
