Following the UK Government's Spring Statement on 27 March 2025, Home-Start UK Chief Executive, Peter Grigg, said:

"There will be thousands of families across the UK feeling incredibly worried following yesterday's Spring Statement. Home-Start sees the devastating impact poverty can have on childhood and has recently helped families illustrate this directly to the Government's Child Poverty Taskforce. A Government committed to health and opportunity for children should not be choosing cuts that push 50,000 more children into poverty."
