Fife Gingerbread supports lone parent, vulnerable and disadvantaged families across Fife. We help those who need help most, and give a voice to those who are not heard. Our ethos is Engage - Support - Progress, working holistically and at a pace that suits the parent and family. In 2017 we reached 30 years of helping families, in that time going from a grassroots organisation to the largest independent families and children support charity in Fife. We actively seek and plug gaps in local provision through various projects, with alleviating child poverty at the core of our work.

There's an immense pressure on families to return to the unsustainable employment which does not tackle child poverty, but in fact keeps parents stuck in a broken system. Read about some of the solutions we are working towards to solve this and other issues facing lone parents.

This general election make sure you USE YOUR VOTE! Everyone's voice matters, and our partners at The Poverty Alliance have launched a campaign to ensure lower-income voters don't get shut out - please share and ensure you are ready to go to the polls on the 4th of July.
In a democracy, everyone's voice matters equally. So it's completely unjust that so many people on lower incomes get shut out from using their vote. This General Election looks set to be the most unequal for more than six decades, due to a ballooning turnout gap at elections and the growing role of money in British politics, according to a recent report from IPPR. We can help change this. In the run-up to July 4, we will be working hard to raise awareness about how people can register to vote, and our manifesto will aim to put ending the injustice of poverty in our wealthy country at the top of the political agenda.
