“Before Newham Affordability Campaign Group, I didn’t know how to speak to my MP or raise problems at work.
Axel and the team helped us organise, understand our rights, and speak together.
For the first time, I felt like our voices were being taken seriously.”

“Last Christmas was very difficult for our family.
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to give our children anything.
The support from the Newham Affordability Campaign Group meant our children had presents and we felt remembered and supported.
It gave us hope when we really needed it.”
– Parent in Neham

“My children were asking if Father Christmas would come this year.
I didn’t know what to say. The Christmas drive meant everything to us.
It wasn’t just the presents – it was knowing someone cared.”

“Before joining the campaign, I felt ashamed and silent.
The group showed me that many families were struggling because of the two-child cap.
Together, we wrote to our MP and took part in actions to demand change.”

“Before joining the campaign, I felt powerless.
If something went wrong at work, I thought I just had to accept it.
Through the group, I learned my rights and how to stand together with other workers.
Now I feel confident speaking up.”
