Our History

  • Working Families was formed in 2003 from the merger of grassroots organisations New Ways to Work and Parents at Work. Our award-winning legal helpline for working parents is over 20 years old. In our 40+ years, we have influenced the introductions of many of the parental employment rights used today, including to request flexible working.

Areas of Operation

  • United Kingdom

Beneficiaries

  • The General Public / Mankind

    The UK's 13 million working parents are our beneficiaries. They benefit from one-to-one legal advice, information and guidance on our website, and more family-friendly employment via our work

Our Vision for a better future

  • We want to achieve a society in which everyone can fully meet their work and caring responsibilities, where all parents and carers have an equal opportunity to find and progress in secure, paid work.

Our goals to make a difference

  • The barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace are removed.

  • 'Flexistability' is created: a pro-families labour market and rights framework.

  • Parents can access and progress in quality, permanent, genuinely two-sided flexible work.

  • Working parents have access to clear, current employment rights information and guidance.

  • Employers have the tools they need to create flexible, family-friendly, high-performing workforces.
