BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Single Parents

Adam Shaw and a panel of experts discuss the cost of living for single parents.

Adam Shaw discusses the cost of living for single parents with Victoria Benson of Gingerbread and Claire Reindorp of the Young Women’s Trust.

Single parents often face particular financial hardships, especially with the economy facing severe challenges and prices rising so fast. A single parent with no support can find it harder to get work, more expensive to find childcare and difficult to provide the basics needed for family life. In today's Money Box Live, Adam Shaw hears from listeners about the challenges and options available to single parent families.
We also hear from Victoria Benson, the Chief Executive of Gingerbread, the national charity which works with single parent families, and from Claire Reindorp, CEO of the Young Women’s Trust.

Producers: Paul Waters and Drew Hyndman
