The rising costs of living are having an impact on families across the country - and this can be particularly hard if you have children or are going to become a parent soon.
However, there are a number of ways parents can get help to ease their financial pressures. People can apply for tax credits, benefits and grants, through either the DWP or HMRC, which could provide some extra cash for families.
