Gingerbread is the leading charity working with single parent families in England and Wales. For over 100 years, we’ve been championing the voices and rights of single parents, providing vital support services, and challenging stigma and systemic disadvantage.

Gingerbread is inviting proposals from experienced, trauma-informed facilitators to deliver three online wellbeing workshops for single parents in June 2025. These workshops are part of our annual wellbeing programme, aimed at improving the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of single parents across England and Wales.

Scope of Work
We are commissioning three one-hour, online workshops, each to be delivered live and pre-recorded for on-demand access. In addition, facilitators will provide five short (30-second) social media video clips to promote the session and extend its reach.

The three workshops are:

1. “Press Pause: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Single Parents”
   Focus: Introduction to mindfulness and self-compassion practices to manage stress and build resilience.
2. “Stretch, Breathe, Release: A Yoga Session for Single Parents”
   Focus: Gentle, accessible yoga to support physical and emotional wellbeing through mindful movement and relaxation.
3. “You Deserve Kindness Too: A Self-Compassion Workshop for Single Parents”
   Focus: Understanding self-compassion, addressing self-criticism, and developing emotional resources.
