Campaigning for single parent families
At Gingerbread, our campaigning work with single parent families is at the heart of what we do - indeed our vision is:
A society in which single parent families are valued and treated equally and fairly.
Clearly, in today's society, that vision is not always the reality. Our work to challenge prejudices against single parents, and to campaign for improvements in how they are treated, is key to everything we do.
TAKE ACTION TODAY
The government are planning to charge single parents for access to the new version of the Child Support Agency. We think this is deeply unfair, and in the end it's families that will suffer.
We have set up a series of easy actions you can take to join with us, and stop these proposals from going ahead. Take action today.
That's right, we think single parents do a brilliant job - often in quite difficult circumstances. Find out about our brand new campaign to give them a public pat on the back, and highlight just how well most are coping as budget cuts start to hit them disproportionately.
In Spring 2010 we launched a campaign to highlight the stereotypes that single parent families have to live with day in, day out. We highlighted the media reporting that paints a false picture of the vast majority of single parents, and in the run up to the election all three party leaders signed up to our campaign.
