One young single dad turned his life around. Lost in his teens and heading down the wrong path he managed to find a stable career in his 20s. Now he's given up his job because he can't afford childcare in London. The irony being he was offered more government support with childcare when he wasn't at work. 

Lawrence, our Young Fathers Practitioner, shares this story as part of our contribution to London Challenge Poverty Week. We want to raise awareness of the difficult currents that stop young parents are faced with when trying to lift themselves out of poverty.
