What the petition asks
I want government or parliament to change the help towards childcare for 2 year olds immediately. Not in a year or so. I am a single mother with one income and receive zero help towards my childcare or the cost of living. I am trying my very best as a single mother and no help is available
I realise a promise has been given to our country that financial help with childcare will be available for younger children from 2024 however I do not think this is good enough. I would like to know why it is so easy for the government to put up the cost of living in every aspect such as food, gas, electricity and much more immediately however postpone the help you give us for a year. I know you probably don’t care about anyone’s back story but I am a single mother trying my best. I receive nothing
