In our fourth podcast, the Voice of the Child speaks with DadsHouse founder Billy McGranaghan on how austerity has hit single fathers and their children.

Offering support and father-focused services to dads who have experienced divorce or bereavement, Billy explains that food bank use among families is on the rise, in the wake of Lord Marmot’s damning review on austerity and poverty.

Billy also shares a controversial theory he holds about why mothers going through family courts may sometimes fabricate domestic abuse allegations.

Listen to the podcast to find out more, and to discover which section of society Billy believes is the UK’s “ghost demographic”.
