Celebrating the single parent community
This year, for Single Parents Day, Neesie is joining 16 organisations across the UK and Ireland to launch a collective campaign under the theme, Single Parent Community.
What is Single Parents Day?
Despite 1 in 4 families being led by a single parent, single parent families are often overlooked or misunderstood. Single Parents Day on March 21 is a chance to celebrate the love, resilience, and strength of single parents while challenging the unfair stigma they face.
Who’s involved?
Each of these organisations provides valuable support, resources and/ or advocacy for single parents. Some organisations work in specific regions or parts of the UK, but collectively we cover the UK and Ireland.
