Welcome <<First Name>>,

We are delighted that our colleague, Anne Baldock, has been recognised for her efforts with the Best Start Grant Working Group with an invitation to attend the summer Royal Garden Party in Holyrood Palace.
 

Minimum Income Standard

OPFS responded to research showing that three-quarters of single parent families are now living below the publicly accepted ‘Minimum Income Standard’.

20 YEARS OF FLEXIBLE CHILDCARE AT OPFS

Last month marked the 20 year anniversary of the official opening of the OPFS flexible childcare service in Dundee.

OPFS has taken the decision to allow that tree to spread its branches and start to create a forest, sharing the benefits of flexible provision, scaling up its delivery operations and creating a specialist childcare organisation, Flexible Childcare Services Scotland (FCSS).

Lesley Tait, Service Manager at FCSS Dundee, said: “We are really excited to mark twenty years of flexible childcare services with the planting of a new little tree. We plan to care for and nurture our tree in the same way we plan to care for and nurture our services, getting stronger day by day and year by year. We can’t wait to see where the next twenty years take us.”

At One Parent Families Scotland we have a committed, skilled team that works hard to improve the lives of single parent families in Scotland.

In return, we support our staff and offer them opportunities to develop their career. We recruit staff from a wide range of backgrounds and ages. We offer flexible working so that all staff can balance work with family and personal development needs.
