CHAMPIONS findings shared on BBC Newsround

 CHAMPIONS Principal Investigator Prof. Monica Lakhanpaul was interviewed for BBC Newsround's ‘No Place to Call Home’ special on the child homelessness crisis in May 2024. 

 

CHAMPIONS is a national project looking at the impact of COVID and living through lockdown on children under 5 who are living in temporary accommodation (TA) due to experiencing homelessness. We are working alongside families and professionals to co-develop recommendations for future support and best practices.

 

These are grounded in research evidence in order to support families’ recovery after the pandemic and enable professionals to prepare for future pandemics.

​

​

“We need to listen, learn and act. Children are our future and it is our duty to provide them with the best start in life. The pandemic should not be allowed to prevent this. We are at risk of failing children living in temporary accommodation.”

CHAMPIONS Project PI: Prof Monica Lakhanpaul

We have four research objectives that link together. Through them, we will co-develop recommendations to help children and families recover from the pandemic. Find out more about our objectives by clicking images below: 

PUBLIC RESOURCE MATERIAL

HELP CHILDREN HAVE THEIR SAY

The CHAMPIONS Project is committed to giving back to children and communities across the country. That’s why we’ve been working with partners, such as artists at Graffwerk, to organise creative workshops and events for vulnerable children.

​

Our research funding does not cover these workshops and events, so we rely on the generosity of individuals and organisations. If you would like to give children the opportunity to show their creative sides, share stories and make these visible, you can donate with the link below, and the funds will be held by our partner, EKAM UK.
