CARE's Chief Executive Nola Leach penned a blog post for Conservative Home highlighting the need for Chancellor Philip Hammond to boost the marriage allowance in the Autumn budget. This would go a long way to help struggling families in the UK.

CARE recognises the huge tax burden many one-earner families face; a way to reduce this burden would be to significantly increase the marriage allowance.
