Today’s episode is our insightful conversation with Satwat Rehman, CEO of One Parent Families Scotland (OPFS), a leading charity working with single-parent families in Scotland.

While speaking with Satwat, we learned more about:

Their latest research, including the "Living without a Lifeline" report which highlights key issues single parents are facing during the cost-of-living crisis.
Their report findings from their five focus groups with single parents in Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Dundee, and Edinburgh on a Just Transition to Net Zero.
Their campaigns: from "Cost of School" (which addresses how costs such as school clothing and school meals can put pressure on low-income families) to "End Child Poverty" (ECP), which calls on the UK Government to take action on child poverty, universal credit, the benefit freeze, and childcare.
Their story and how this year they are celebrating 80 years of One Parent Families Scotland.
