Value proposition

We are the UK’s national charity for working parents and carers.

Working Families is the UK's national charity for working parents and carers. We want to achieve a society in which everyone can fully meet their work and caring responsibilities, where all parents and carers have an equal opportunity to find and progress in secure, paid work.

Our mission is to remove the barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace. We drive positive change by supporting and advocating for working parents and carers, collaborating with employers to build flexible and family-friendly cultures, and influencing government policy.

Over the next five years, we will work to ensure that more people with caring responsibilities have the opportunity to attain and thrive within secure and flexible jobs. Our objectives provide a roadmap for achieving this and will not change until we have achieved our mission and our vision.

We won't stop until;
1. Parents and carers are informed and empowered to make use of their employment rights and entitlements to enter and stay in work.
2. Employers offer and promote flexible and family friendly working practices and opportunities
3. Policymakers legislate and act to create a policy framework that provides a baseline of rights and entitlements for working parents and carers.
