Twins Trust backs petition for more support for multiple birth families in Scotland

A charity in Scotland supporting twins, triplets and more has encouraged the Scottish Government to lead the way by providing better support for multiple birth families.

Twins Trust is supporting Glasgow south side mum Jennifer Edmonstone with her petition to secure more support for families with twins, triplets or more, which includes both financial and non-financial elements.

The most recent response from Holyrood referenced the new initiatives being rolled out to help parents and guardians, but these do not specifically cover multiple birth families. In fact, they do not go further than targeting families with low or no income and are universal to all births.
