The survey of income and living conditions for 2021 showed households headed by lone parents continued to be some of the hardest hit by deprivation and poverty. This is before the full impact of the cost-of-living crisis of the past two years is taken into account. Lone parents are struggling to meet the cost of living on a day-to-day basis for themselves and their children and we need to break that cycle of poverty.
