{{matcher.matcherNotes}}

Single parents are in crisis. Even before COVID-19, single parents and their children were almost twice as likely to be living in poverty as coupled parents. The pandemic turned the challenges they already faced into a catastrophe. Single parents were much more likely still to be in low paid jobs, more likely to be furloughed or lose their jobs, and even if they were fortunate enough to be able to work from home they had to try to home-school while holding down their job just to make sure they could still pay the bills and feed their families – all on their own with no support. On top of this they lost all their support networks, making them totally isolated, increasing their anxiety, affecting their mental health and wellbeing.

It is no wonder that demand for Gingerbread’s services rocketed over the last eighteen months. At one point we could only answer about a quarter of calls to our helpline from single parents urgently seeking advice and support. We have never known such desperation. Demand remains high and will no doubt increase again as the holiday season approaches. We urgently need more funding so we can be there for every single parent that need us.

Please support our emergency appeal so that we can help more families like Genny’s and Thea’s to lead happy and fulfilling lives, free of poverty and full of joy.
