We're taking part in the Great Ginger Bake a 4 week baking challenge in support of single parents and Gingerbread. Why Gingerbread? In I in 4 families across the UK, children are being raised by a single parent. Children raised by a single parent were already twice as likely to be living in poverty compared to coupled families. Covid-19 and the impacts of lockdown has exacerbated the challenges that many single parent families are facing particularly as many of the part-time, flexible jobs that can work around school hours were the first to go. Gingerbread is the only national charity providing expert practical and emotional support for single parents. Gingerbread helps with the challenges of being the only adult raising a child so that single parents can build strong and loving families. All sponsorship money raised through the Great Ginger Bake challenge will support Gingerbread's work with single parents.
