Family and Childcare Trust launches

The Family and Childcare Trust is the new name for the Daycare Trust and the Family and Parenting Institute.

The change of name follows the merger of the two charities in January.

Chief executive Anand Shukla said, ‘Our new name reflects our intention to build on the strengths of both charities by maintaining a focus on the issue of childcare within a broader context of other pressures facing families.’

He added, ‘As one organisation we are very excited to combine our reach, resources, expertise and passion for making a difference for families in the UK.’

A new brand identity and website will be developed during the summer.

The Trust will focus on three main areas of work: carrying out research to understand family life and childcare, campaigning for change in policy and with employers to make life easier for families with children, information and innovation - providing information to parents and finding new ways to support families.
