About us

At Working Families, we confront the challenges that parents and carers face in the workplace, striving toward a future where everyone can thrive at home and at work  

Every day on our helpline, we hear from people struggling to get by. The mother who has been fired just because she’s pregnant. The father who can’t access the basic flexibility needed to provide essential care for his children. The parent who is working three jobs but still can’t find the money to pay for childcare and put food on the table. Everything we do is shaped by their lived experiences. It’s only when we listen to working parents and carers that we can become experts in the field and use this insight to work practically with employers and policymakers to create better outcomes for families.  

Your generosity ensures we can raise over £1 million each year to provide our award-winning free legal advice service, drive meaningful policy change, and work collaboratively with employers to create flexible, family-friendly workplaces for all. Join us on our mission, and together we can achieve a better working world for all parents and carers in the UK.
