We are the leading charity supporting single parent families in England and Wales. We are fighting to create a world where all single parents and their children do not just survive, but thrive.

We support
We provide expert advice and information to support all single parents, through our website and advice webchat and helpline. This can include things to help with the additional challenges of having a child with additional needs, such as disability benefits, employment and childcare advice.

We connect
We provide local groups and an online community so that, with Gingerbread, no single parent is ever alone. We have a specific online group for single parents with children with additional needs within our online community space.

We challenge
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.
