I'm a first time 'poster' so I hope this is ok. I've been meaning ask people ever since the budget came out and felt totally demoralised by the lack of assistance or anything for households where only one person earns an income. I'm setting up work from home but don't yet have an income to pay for childcare and my 2 year old is ...well...he doesn't let me do so much work as I would like to. You can imagine! I know other women who wouldn't mind volunteering to brush up skills etc but of course have a problem with childcare. Then I thought about some office space near me that is a flexible working office newly built for voluntary sector and small business use. It has a perfect 'meeting' room that would make a nice creche and facilities that could be used for mumpreneurs and perhaps mums wanting to some time to voluntary sector orgs. It sits there almost empty most of the time. Would love to get some funding to give mums low cost or even free flexi working depending on whether it was voluntary, early stage etc and then replicate it all over the country. Who helps with this kind of thing? Does anyone think it is a good idea?
