SPAN is a uniquely diverse organisation empowering one parent families throughout the UK. We value the vital contributions of one parent families in society.
SPAN's aims are to:
- Support single parents to empower themselves and take control of their lives
- Give a voice to one parent families from diverse backgrounds and cultures living in poverty and isolation
- Support the development of user-led one parent family groups
- Work with organisations and decision-making bodies
- Develop partnerships to improve policies for one parent families in the UK and internationally
- Celebrate our diversity, our children, our lives
Setting up a group:
Single parent groups offer many of us a much-needed chance to branch out and spend time with other people.
If you are part of a group you'll know that it's a very positive experience, offering support, friendship, activities for you and your children and more. Groups can be a lifeline to single parents, so we've dedicated this whole section to helping you get the most out of your group or even find out how to start a new one.
There will be information on how to set up and run a group, funding, childcare and more on the website.
