Description
Being a single parent can bring many rewards, and also new challenges. Whether you’ve just become single, or are about to be, or have been for ages, it’s good to inform yourself so that you can make the best decisions for your family.
Here we offer advice, support and information around some of the most common topics single parents ask us about. You can also chat with and meet other single parents by joining the Gingerbread Community.
We support
Get expert advice and information so you have the tools to support your children and yourself.
We challenge
We campaign against the inequalities and injustices that single parents face every single day. And we challenge the stigma and negative perceptions around being a single parent.
Who can use our services?
We define a single parent as any parent with the majority care of their children. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are or the circumstances under which you became a single parent – Gingerbread can help. We also understand that many parents who don’t have majority care will share the same challenges and responsibilities as those who do – so if you see yourself as a single parent, you are welcome to use our services. You may find, however, that some of our advice is less suited to your situation.
In addition to our services for all single parents, we also have some specific services for people who have children with additional needs, and single dads.
