Working Families is a UK work-life balance organisation. They help and give a voice to working parents and carers, whilst also helping employers create workplaces which encourage work-life balance for everyone. Armed by all they hear from their supporters they make the case to government and employers for social policy and workplace change that will benefit families, employers and communities.

Their vision is a society where everyone has real choices about how they balance their working and caring responsibilities.

They call for:

  • Family friendly working hours and leave for parents and carers.
  • A right to request flexible working for all employees.
  • Affordable, quality childcare and elder care.
  • An end to the UK’s long hours work culture.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
