The Government has launched a 500 million pound fund intended to help up to 200,000 vulnerable children.
The Better Futures Fund aims to provide support for struggling families and give children access to better education and a safe home over the next 10 years, the government said.
“This fund will give hundreds of thousands of children, young people and their families a better chance,” Reeves said in a statement.
“Our ‘Plan for Change’ will break down barriers to opportunity and give them the best start in life.”
Reeves will launch the fund on a visit to a school in Wigan this morning
The Treasury also said it planned to raise another 500 million pounds from local government, social investors and philanthropists.
