Children’s Society CEO Mark Russell likewise chimed in with some sobering details. According to Russell, the British government needs to employ more concerted action to improve the mental health of kids and increase young people’s confidence in the world around them.
Other officials also caution with about 33% of British children trapped in impoverished lifestyles, it makes sense that many wouldn’t feel great about the futures ahead of them.
More from the Children’s Society
The Children’s Society maintains links to the Church of England and continues to stand as a strong advocate for young people.
To this day, the children’s charity remains on the frontlines, urging for more social reforms and laws to improve life for kids in Britain. Specifically, the Children’s Society advocates for the United Kingdom to begin formally tracking data on kids’ well-being each year.
They also maintain that this data should particularly prioritize young British girls, who are documented as shouldering heavier burdens than their male counterparts.
