Topic I: Child Poverty and Back 2 School As the new school year begins, millions of children in the UK face an unequal start due to poverty. From uniform costs to tech and trips, hidden expenses create barriers that affect their education. We explore how this impacts families, what can be done to support them and how to ensure every child has a fair chance to succeed. Topic II: Plastic Pollution Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental threats of our time. From oceans to rivers to the very food we eat, plastic is everywhere—and it’s harming wildlife, ecosystems, and even our health. In this show, we’ll explore how we’ve reached this crisis point and what real, practical steps we can take to reverse the damage.
