Let's Lose the Labels

February 2010

Gingerbread has been working with single parents since 1918. Back then we opposed the ‘bastardy’ acts that stigmatised children born out of wedlock. 92 years later single parents are angry about the labels that are used today.

Make Work Workable for single parents


Gingerbread is campaigning for a better deal for single parents – as employees and as parents - during the recession.

Child Poverty

 Gingerbread has sent a 'Valentines Day' card to the Chancellor as part of the End Child Poverty campaign.The Government must meet its target to halve child poverty by 2010.

Benefit changes for single parents


Gingerbread is campaigning against Government proposals to make single parents with children aged three and up to prepare for work or face benefit cuts. If you're not in paid work and all your children are over 13, your benefits are likely to be changing very soon.

Child Maintenance

Parents on benefit should be able to keep the whole of any child maintenance they are paid for their children.

Kids in the Middle

Many parents, both fathers and mothers, and children would like more help and support in dealing with the issues they faced following separation.
