Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to listen. My name is Mille Ingerslev and I am here today to talk to you about an increasing challenge for the UK; Poverty. Today 14 million people in the UK - a fifth of the country’s population - live in poverty.
But with the UK being the world’s fifth largest economy, how has increasing use of charitable aid, a rising number of people going hungry and generally just more people reporting that they are struggling to get by become the reality of the country’s population?

This obviously also affects their children which leads me on to the last point I want to make about the increasing poverty; Poverty is especially damaging to children.
And to this I think there is to sides. Firstly, poverty comes with some side effects that are damaging for a child’s development and health.
This for example includes malnutrition and according to a British doctor, Andy Knox, malnutrition can for instance lead to conditions where the bones aren’t forming probably and he as a doctor sees these conditions linked to malnourishment more commonly these days.
And this has several long term consequences on a child’s mental health, ability to work, physical health and educational outcome.
