Catherine’s Case Study
We are looking for case studies to show just how hard it is for families and to highlight the challenges faced by those wanting to care at home. Catherine, one of our members, has kindly put forward her story in the hope that by changing how we support families other mothers will not have to suffer in the same way.
Tax Reforms Needed
Reform of the tax system is needed to help ‘hard-working families’, writes Mothers At Home Matter’s chair, Anne Fennell. Families are struggling. They face an unprecedented rise in fuel and energy costs in the realm of £2k a year but do not have the means of meeting this. Many of the problems families face arise from a tax system which far from helping them does not even recognise them and whilst it elevates the individual it creates the problems which will see families pushed further into poverty.
