After using various charities and organisations, I had given up. I wouldn’t leave the house until I asked for help through Barnardo’s. They have been my rock. They got me out of the house, supported me and helped me build my confidence back up after an abusive relationship.

I was in the driving seat, I chose what help I needed, and because of them I received the help no one else could offer. They have helped so many people over the years, and we are all so grateful for the help and support, so much so that we now volunteer with them to be able to help more women.

The ladies who run the Equally Safe Group are passionate and never give up; they provide so many opportunities for people. I can say personally, I don’t know if I would still be here without their help. I owe them everything.

Nomination One:

Ema has been an inspirational Gingerbread rep in NW London bringing the community together, organising events, getting free/subsidised tickets, raising money and resources, organising annual camping activity, mothers’ days, Xmas events. All are creating a beautiful community where all kinds of single-parent families are accepted and normalised.

She is also a very effective admin and handles tricky and sensitive issues that arise with managing a community (where emotions can sometimes run high due to difficult situations) with sound judgement, balancing authority and compassion.

Nomination One:

They help so many people who have been through domestic abuse, the care and understanding they have is amazing. They saved me and truly are superheroes.

Nomination Two:

When I moved area with the help of Women’s Aid to escape covert coercive control, I was still a shell of who I once was. I didn’t realise this at the time, or that it could change. Support from Equally Safe meant I could find myself and my voice again, and become the best parent I could be.

They offered clarity, community, understanding, knowledge and support that helped me grow and feel a renewed sense of hope about my world. Without this service, parenting alongside a coercive controller, navigating the trauma of family court, and managing my own health issues would have felt impossible. I cannot see how my mental health would have improved without their support.

They work tirelessly to offer incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guidance. It’s the only domestic abuse service I have used that has truly come alongside me to help me grow as a survivor and a parent, rather than just being processed like another number, as I experienced with other services.

The workers in this service see you as human. They understand and validate you, and help you find your own light that has been buried deep. The skill involved in this is remarkable and truly felt at a deeper, visceral level.

I truly do not believe that my experience of being a single parent would have been as positive or successful if it weren’t for the continued support offered by Equally Safe, the community of women they have helped build, and the consistent work they do to bring hope in such challenging times.

I can see the positive impact not just on me as a parent, but on my child. It feels less lonely and more empowering when you have the correct knowledge to support a child who is court-ordered to spend time with a coercive controller. The support from Equally Safe has allowed me to confidently return to work and to heal from the experience of coercive control.

When a mother is in a stronger place, there is a more solid foundation for her child to grow too.

Nomination One:

Joanna always goes above and beyond to support everyone in the group and create a welcoming, friendly community. She hosts lots of local social events, she’s always there with a smile on her face and inclusive of all members, new and existing. She regularly lets us know about local and national things that will benefit us, whether that’s a local family event (diverse to suit different people) a campaign, change or freebie. She is always so positive and upbeat and going through challenges like us all as a single parent herself. She’s a great representative for Gingerbread and advocate for single parents.

I’m nominating them as they supported me when no other organisation was helpful, and they helped me turn my homeless application from intentional to not. They made the council listen when they turned their back on me with chronic illnesses and my ASD child. They continue to fight for us in seeking a permanent home now instead of the horrible TA. They supported me a lot mentally (Alfa) and emotionally when I wanted to give up. They encouraged me to fight.

Nathalie has been one of my best friends for over 30 years. However, since I became a single parent in 2015, Nathalie has been a rock to me and my now 18 year old daughter. Being a single parent was not something I ever envisaged as part of the life plan, but became the consequence of a necessary break up between me and my daughter’s Dad.

Life has not been easy since becoming a single parent. Increase in working hours, responsibility, stress, financial hardship and adversity. However, my daughter and I are still as close as ever, still in our family house and we are surviving. Throughout all of this, the one person we have always been able to rely on has been Nathalie. Like a sister to me and a second Mum to my daughter, she is the most amazing, caring, and supportive human being to step foot on this planet!

She has kept us safe in unsafe times, provided unconditional love and support when I am sure our needs have been heavy to carry. Big gestures or small, Nathalie has provided them all, and never with any expectation than for us just to accept her help and support willingly. From washing up pots and pans in my kitchen to spending all night at hospital with us, just to provide company and get food/drink when needed, she has done it all. I also know she’ll always be there for us, no matter what, and that is worth so much to us.

Nathalie is a strong, intelligent, and compassionate woman. She is a great role model to us both, but especially my daughter. Being a single parent is hard at the best of times, and having Nathalie to advocate for us and empower us, makes the journey much easier.

She champions my successes as a single parent always and empowers me daily, providing me with hope and strength to keep going, for both me and my daughter.

She is our rock, our safe space, our voice of reason and above all, our best friend! We love you lots Nat, thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do for us both.

Neil has supported me through my separation and divorce, empowering me to feel I have a voice and stand up for matters concerning the best interests of my children. He’s always been there to listen to me, question me and help me deal with issues in a calm and respectful manner.

Nomination One:

I would like to nominate Robert because of the way he truly understands single parents, not just in theory but through lived experience. He shares his own journey openly and honestly, which creates a sense of safety and trust that is rare and incredibly powerful.

Robert has an ability to explain things in a way that feels empowering rather than patronising. He helped me make sense of situations I felt overwhelmed by, especially around shared care, emotional load, and the realities of parenting alone. His guidance has been practical, compassionate, and rooted in real life, not judgement or unrealistic expectations.

What makes Robert stand out is that he does not just listen, he genuinely sees people. He validates experiences that are often dismissed, and he helps single parents feel less alone, more confident, and more capable. The impact he has had on my life has been significant, helping me feel stronger, more informed, and more hopeful.

He is a true advocate for single parents and a constant source of reassurance, clarity, and encouragement. His work and presence make a real difference, and he absolutely deserves recognition for the positive and lasting impact he has on others.

Nomination Two:

I’m nominating Robert Ward because the impact he has on single parents through SPSAS is genuinely huge, and often goes unseen.

When I first joined the group I was overwhelmed, burnt out, and constantly second guessing myself. I felt like I was failing, trying to hold everything together alone, money stress, parenting stress, contact stress, the mental load, all of it. I posted in the group expecting a few comments, but what I got back from Robert was something that honestly shifted everything.

Robert doesn’t just “moderate a Facebook group”, he creates safety, calm, and structure for thousands of single parents who are in survival mode. He has a way of taking someone’s messy, emotional situation and turning it into clear next steps that actually feel doable. He gives practical guidance without judgement, and support without making you feel pitied or talked down to.

Personally, he helped me at one of the lowest points of my life. He responded in a way that made me breathe again. He reminded me I wasn’t crazy or dramatic, I was carrying too much on my own. He helped me feel confident again, and that confidence changed how I showed up for my child. That’s not a small thing.

What stands out about Robert is how consistent he is. He gives his time, energy, and knowledge daily, often behind the scenes, keeping the group supportive, respectful, and safe, especially for vulnerable parents. He protects the space, but he also builds people up, always encouraging, always real, always focused on helping people move forward.

SPSAS is a lifeline for so many parents, and Robert is a massive reason why. He deserves recognition for the difference he makes, not just to the community as a whole, but to individuals like me who genuinely feel stronger because of his support.

Nomination Three:

Robert is a wealth of knowledge, kindness and empathy. He has an amazing way with words that always seems to get to the heart of any issue. He has made me feel better about myself when I am at the end of my coping abilities and has frequently brought tears to my eyes. He deserves a medal, a knighthood or a holiday.

Nomination Four:

I want to nominate Robert Ward because he helped me when I was leaving an abusive relationship and I was honestly a mess.

I was scared all the time, confused, not sleeping, and I didn’t even know what was normal anymore. I posted in SPSAS feeling ashamed and stupid, like I should have known better. But Robert replied in a way that made me feel safe straight away.

He didn’t judge me or tell me to just leave like it’s easy. He believed me. He explained things so clearly (coercive control, emotional abuse, how it messes with your head) and he helped me work out what to do next without panicking. Even small things like what to say, what to keep a record of, and how to set boundaries without making it worse.

I swear his words helped me get my confidence back. I stopped doubting myself, and I actually took steps to protect my child and me. That’s massive.

SPSAS is a lifeline, and Robert is a big reason why people feel brave enough to speak up. He really changes lives, not just gives advice.

Nomination Five:

Robert runs the single parent support group on Facebook, and he always goes out of his way to help everyone. He is so knowledgeable and friendly.

Nomination Six:

He is the admin of the group and always supportive and empathetic . He is the backbone of the group.

Shelley Hayles is a true single-parent superhero whose impact reaches far beyond her own family and into the heart of the community. As a single parent herself and the founder of LeeAnna’s Wish CIC, Shelley delivers meaningful intergenerational projects that engage, empower and upskill people of all ages, while promoting friendships and vital social interaction. For the past four years, she has been a constant source of support to me and my little one through both ups and downs, always showing compassion, generosity and understanding. No matter the personal challenges she faces, Shelley leads with warmth and resilience, always wearing a smile and offering a listening ear. Most recently, she has gone above and beyond by providing our Gingerbread group with monthly hall hire, ensuring we have a safe, secure and consistent space to meet funded by LeeAnna’s Wish CIC. Her selflessness, strength and unwavering commitment to others truly make her deserving of recognition as a single-parent superhero.

This organisation is a small community-based organisation which trains single mothers with basket weaving and gives them a startup kit after training them for 3months. Their founder and CEO is a single mother who is helping out other women, especially single mothers.
