@geriatric_mum I’ve already decided that I won’t be buying new school shoes for my Yr 4 child who has just grown out of 4 pairs of shoes during lockdown (trainers, wellies, school shoes and sandals - for those who think I’m Carrie from Sex and the City)

While we welcome the Governments move to support families receiving #FreeSchoolMeals, we are concerned that the voucher system will stigmatise and restrict the options of families living in poverty. The government could instead boost Universal Credit and Child Tax Credits.

Also thinking of the #singleparents who can’t get a break on their own (if you find a way let me know!) #mentalhealth

[Flexit Durham @DurhamFlexit]

As a single mum I’m feeling this right now... thanks PTS for flagging up, it’s of course a difficult time but please pause before you judge. I have to take my child with me shopping, walking the dog or leave her alone in the house #BeKindToEachOther
