SINGLE parents have been “particularly hard hit” by the cost-of-living crisis and are now struggling to pay their energy bills, buy food and face increased isolation, a new report has found.
One Parent Families Scotland (OPFS) polled 260 single parents on their experiences and have now called for all levels of government to take drastic action, putting forward a number of suggestions from those involved in the survey for governments as part of a bid for more support for those facing, and living in, poverty.
