Waiting for the future

Cover of Waiting for the future.

'This is a wonderful scheme.' - Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate

A thought-provoking collection of poetry on the issues of 3.5 million children living in poverty in the UK and over a million children in Britain who live in bad housing.

Young people and children in secondary and primary schools wrote the poems as part of End Child Poverty's Children Write campaign, which was supported by the Poetry Society and the National Association of Writers.

Extraordinarily strong, poignant and provocative, the poems present the voices of the children and their thoughts on the issues clearly and concisely, pointing to the changes they would like to see happen.
