Vikki said she was 'constantly worried' about losing her job after having children so decided to change to a more flexible career
A national protest aimed at demanding Government reform on childcare, parental leave and flexible working. Protests took place across the country in 11 locations at 11am on Saturday, October 29, organised by the campaigners Pregnant Then Screwed.
Vikki Wren, a Personal Trainer, and Nutrition coach, struggled to balance her career in banking with the necessary childcare, when she returned to work after her first maternity leave 10 years ago. Vikki explains: "Before I worked in a gym, I worked in business banking for around 10 years. "I’d always feel so guilty about being off work when I only worked part time already! I was constantly worried about losing my job. Even though the bank had been flexible and helped as much as they could, it soon became clear that working two days a week wasn’t working for us, financially.
"After the school run, I rush back to work for 9.30am and train clients until 3pm, before I pick them up again. Now that both children are in school, I can work five days a week and fit my work around their needs. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I return to the gym when my husband gets home from work, and train clients from 5pm to 8pm.
