Gingerbread – Support for single parents

We are fighting to create a world where all single parents and their children don’t just survive. They thrive.

Despite most being in work, single parents are twice as likely to be in poverty than a parent in a couple. They face prejudice and judgement. And the loneliness and isolation they experience compounds things, putting their mental health and wellbeing at serious risk.

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. We provide expert advice and information to support all single parents so that they have the tools to support their children and themselves. We provide a support network so that, with Gingerbread, no single parent is ever alone.
