Hi Kaz,
Welcome to the forum
Have you checked out to see if there’s any local gingerbread groups to you here’s a link
https://www.gingerbread.org.uk/community/single-parent-groups/groups/
Don’t worry if you post something here and it takes a while to get a response, it’s nothing personal. Just keep posting and commenting on other threads and you’ll soon build up some online friends.
