🎥 Twelve years on...

In 2014, single parents told us they were making impossible choices between heating their homes and paying for other essentials.

Watching this archive footage today is a reminder that, while much has changed, many families are still facing similar challenges.

That's why we're partnering with Citizens Advice Scotland for a free webinar exploring what our latest evidence tells us about energy debt, what support works, and what needs to change to make energy more affordable for single parent families.

💜 If you're struggling with energy costs or debt, you're not alone. OPFS can provide advice and support through our Helpline and local services.
