Octavia Holland

Octavia Holland is a single parent, bringing up a child in Lewisham and also grew up in a single parent family. Previously the Director of Policy at Gingerbread, the national single parent charity, Octavia has extensive knowledge of what the facts and stats actually show, and what is often said about single parent families. With a particular interest in and outrage at the way single parents are still treated, in 2016 Octavia wrote a chapter for the Child Poverty Action Group about single parent families and life chances, dismantling many of the negative stereotypical views. Octavia is currently the Director of a children and young people’s charity.
