Our campaigns

Together with single parents, we challenge social stigma, and influence government policy to ensure single parent families receive a fair and just deal.

Our campaigns focus on issues including accessible and affordable childcare, a Child Maintenance Service (CMS) that puts children first, flexible working and a fair welfare system.

We work with single parents, parliamentarians, policy makers and the media to highlight the need for change, using a range of tactics to ensure single parents’ voices are heard and listened to.
