An infographic saying that there were around 13.4 million people were in poverty in 2024/25, a rise of 500,000 in overall poverty between 2023/24 and 2024/25. This was made up of: 4.0 million children (no change) 7.7 million working-age adults [up 300k] 1.7 million pensioners [up 200k]

The story in yesterday’s poverty data? A small rise in poverty in Labour’s first year, up by 500k to 13.4 million in 2024/25.
⬆️working-age adults in poverty went up by 300k
⬆️number of pensioner in poverty went up by 200k
↔️child poverty stayed flat.

To celebrate Single Parents Day, our Edinburgh team held a children’s art competition 🎨

The entries were amazing, so every child was rewarded with crayons and stickers for their creativity!

Big thanks to Doodles Ceramic Workshop and the Cameo Cinema for donating prizes - happy Single Parents Day

BUT 4 in 10 children in single parent families are living in poverty, and current plans won’t meet Scotland’s targets.

We need bolder action.

#TransformingChildMaintenance #ChildPoverty #TacklingChildPovertyPlan

The Scottish Government has published its Child Poverty Delivery Plan 2026–31.

We welcome steps to help single parents access child maintenance and employment support.

Child poverty in one parent families is a national disgrace - and a big cause of that is absent parents, usually fathers, who don't pay maintenance and a Child 'Maintenance' Service that lets them.

Please do add your name.

Huge thank you to @jolyon.goodlawproject.org for supporting this campaign.

On 25 March, we’ll travel to Westminster alongside parents involved in the #TransformingChildMaintenance project to hand deliver our letter to No. 10 calling for a system that works better for children and families.

I've added my name to this open letter. Please consider adding yours. Thank you!

Thank you ☺️

#TransfromingChildMaintenance

Millions of children are missing out because the UK’s Child Maintenance Service isn’t working.

Parents and partners in the Transforming Child Maintenance project are calling for change. On 25 March, an open letter will be delivered to the Prime Minister.
