Women-in

For the last year Gingerbread has been involved in The WOMEN-IN project – this is a transnational project to promote Teleworking as a tool for improving work-life balance and promoting women’s participation in the labour market.  The project aims to encourage women’s participation in the labour market by promoting Teleworking as a flexible workplace programme which has potential benefits to both women workers and to companies at an institutional level.

Car insurance - a major expense for single families

car transport is not a luxury any more - for many families it's an essential. Running a car can be costly, particularly for those on low incomes, and car insurance is a major part of that expense. Motorists can search for car insurance quotes on a number of websites: leading cheap car insurance providers include moneysupermarket., prudentplus and comparethemarket., amongst others.

During the Covid epidemic a lot of people have been unable to keep up with monthly payments for their car insurance, and they now find that the insurers are refusing to offer them a policy again. If you have had an application turned down this company that provides car insurance for people who have been refused a renewal may be able to help.
