Save our working families Please sign this petition if you just want the government to give you a break and give a helping hand to the working person. We ask the government to bring back:
- Baby Element of Tax Credits from 2011/12
- Increase the amount of eligible childcare costs that Tax Credits will pay for by 10% from 2011/12
- Unfreeze the basic element of Working Tax Credit from 2011/12
- UnFreeze the 30 hours element of Working Tax Credit from 2011/12
- Clear literature at your door if any changes are going to be made to tax credits/child benefit. Not everyone reads the news.

Reaching this level of support has been a heavy experience given the struggle so many of us are facing right now. It is exhausting to keep pushing for changes that should be obvious but seeing this group grow keeps me anchored to the work ahead.

My husband and I both work but we are struggling to pay for daycare. It is just not fair to families.
its getting harder and harder to put food on the table. we work full time and still nothing adds up. help us out
COST OF LIVING IS A JOKE. prices r going up but wages are staying the same. we need this now.
bring back the tax credits. everything is so expensive now its just unbelievable.
Hard working people are being punished while everyone else gets a free ride. About time someone stood up for us.
