This is our last chance before the Spring budget to put pressure on the Chancellor to make Child Benefit fairer. Please write to your MP now to add your voice to the increasing pressure on the Chancellor to rectify this unjust tax charge.

We need your stories! Struggling families who have a parent at home caring for their children also need help. A fairer tax system which recognises the household income rather than individual income with tax breaks would go a long way to supporting such families. This affects so many hard working families — please help us share your story.

Had enough of being called ‘economically inactive’? It is time to find our voice and speak up for the value of care. Raising children and taking care of our elderly are not 'barriers to work’ or ‘burdens'. It is the most important work and the duty of every good society to take care of its most vulnerable members.

Miriam Cates, a huge supporter of the invisible work done by mothers based at home, was slated by ‘Pregnant then Screwed’ amongst others yesterday with some of her comments taken out of context and misquoted.

Mothers At Home Matter submitted written evidence to the Education Committee's inquiry, Support for childcare and the early years. It has been accepted by the committee and published on their website. You can read it here.

We urge you to call on your MP to attend the debate about the Higher Rate Child Benefit Charge this week. Mothers At Home Matter have written a template letter to help you raise the issue of the unfair taxation by which many families are penalised. This is an opportunity to press your MP to represent your view.
