Theresa May has been honoured by the charity Working Families for her work to make life better for Britain’s families. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Working Families, Theresa has been named as one of their thirty Pioneers ‘who have led the way in the work-life field and who have changed the landscape for working families.’
The Pioneers are from the political, business, academic and carers’ fields. Theresa has been honoured for ‘championing a modern Conservative commitment to equality and work-life balance’.
Theresa said, “I am delighted to have been recognised by Working Families in this way. Throughout my time in Parliament I have championed policies that help families and particularly those that will encourage a better work-life balance for parents and carers. Many parents and carers work very hard to balance their jobs and their family responsibilities and I believe all MPs should be looking to make life easier for them.”
Sarah Jackson OBE, Chief Executive of Working Families said, “These thirty individuals are honoured for having significantly changed the landscape over the last three decades for working families, whether by their actions, their ideas or their example”.
Working Families is the UK’s leading work-life balance campaign organisation. It supports and gives a voice to working parents and carers, whilst also helping employers create workplaces which encourage work-life balance for everyone.
