Debate UNICEF donating to UK councils to make such donations unnecessary.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Provide sufficient funding to local councils to enable all children have a proper diet so that charities such as UNICEF don't see the need to make donations to those local councils.
It is embarrassing for the nation for large charities to see elements of society as so poor that they need the same support as countries suffering from natural or politically caused famine.
