Far too many families feel overlooked and ignored. As a member of @EndChildPoverty we are calling on all parties to commit to action so that every child in Scotland can have the best possible start in life and our country can prosper in the future.
End Child Poverty@EndChildPoverty
Child poverty is falling in Scotland - but not fast enough. With members of @EndChildPoverty in Scotland we are calling for more action to tackle the drivers of child poverty, to build on the progress made and work towards a Scotland where all children have the best start in life. We are calling on all all political parties to deliver clear plans to meet Scotland’s 2030 child poverty targets. Read our manifesto: tinyurl.com/ympvdss9

It was great to meet with local organisations at @northedinarts to discuss the challenges single parents face, from child maintenance to childcare, housing and financial security.
These conversations are vital to shaping policies that truly support families.

Thanks to @StuMcMillanSNP for hosting us and relaying our recommendations for what the Scottish Govt can do to help children and families.

Big Thanks to @NETrunkRoads
We’ve received a donation of £250 to support our work. Gingey even popped in to visit the team - and of course, we couldn’t resist having a go in the gritter!
Head over to Amey’s page to find out more about their gritter naming competition.

Thank you @wendychambLD for sharing our Child Maintenance 'Explained' leaflet.
It’s the first of its kind, designed with young people, for young people.

Too many separated parents, paying and receiving, are battling a system that doesn’t work. Children are losing out on the security they deserve.
We are calling for change.
