One Parent Families Scotland is deeply concerned about Dundee City Council’s proposed budget cuts to Children and Families Services. These cuts risk undermining vital support for families already facing poverty and inequality.

That’s why we are asking you to add your name to our open letter calling on Dundee City Council to protect Children and Families Services. Please share widely with your networks and also with parents and families to ensure their voice is heard. '
