The Time is Right for a Children’s Wellbeing Budget

Too many children are left behind, their lives already a struggle before they reach school. The inequalities in our society – be they poverty, gender, violence, hopelessness, racism, disablism and so many more – land at their feet and affect their lives before they can even walk.

Engaging people and communities

Symbiosis Tree For Life custodial Orchard offers people and communities the opportunity to engage, by investing just £60 in a Symbiosis Tree For Life Educational Bursary and secure land. Sometimes this in partnership with Farm schemes or colleges. As a result people can enjoy the countryside and understand the importance of food and farming. They can connect with the land and also gain access to the orchard farm open days. We offer a structure for involvement, where everyone can make a difference.

Our vision

  • Provides fresh local food;
  • Restoring Biodiversity:
  • Organically Sustainable farming:
  • Adopting energy saving systems:
  • Connects communities to land;
  • Supports land-based education, nature and wellbeing.
  • Creates rural jobs in a Farming Community and improves countryside economies.
  • Providing Off Grid Housing with all the modern convenience with sustainability.
  • Restoring Work committed time and real family time balance.
  • Supported by a Educational Bursary Framework System.
Dr Trebeck’s report outlines seven principles for a children’s wellbeing budget:
  • Holistic and human: focus on the relationships that support children. This whole-system approach encompasses support across the suite of factors that shape families’ scope to thrive. This means targeting risk factors that society is responsible for, rather than simply targeting individuals.
  • Outcomes-orientated: focus on and accountability for end results (often at a societal scale) rather than services or spending.
  • Rights-based: the goals of a budget should be to uphold and realise human rights, including those of women and children, and to do so in an accountable, transparent and participatory manner.
  • Long-term and upstream: policymakers should take decisions ‘as if they mean to stay’, rather than confining themselves to projects within one parliamentary term.
  • Preventative: preventing harm by offering support as early as possible and working towards long-term solutions. Prevention (and indeed a multidimensional wellbeing approach) is also about considering present and future generations of children around the world. The fiscal budget needs to operate within a science-based carbon budget that limits overconsumption of the earth’s resources.
  • Precautionary: the evidence base for supporting children in their earliest years and the extent to which this generates long-term benefits is sufficiently sound to be acted upon, even if the evidence is not specific enough to precisely attribute these benefits to a single action.
  • Participatory: children and their families need to be involved across the entire budget process via a creative, inclusive mix of methods that welcomes the experiences and ideas of children and families. Particular effort needs to be made to elevate the voices of those who are often marginalised.
