End Young Parent Poverty: MSP supporters

Last updated: 11/09/2023

MSPs across the Scottish Parliament have been asked by One Parent Families Scotland to pledge their support for a top-up to the Scottish Child Payment for parents under 25, in order to better support the 55% of children with young mums who are currently living in poverty.

Gathering cross-party support for this campaign could make a real difference in helping to achieve this change and put money in the pockets of struggling young parent families.
