SINGLE PARENTS DAY 2026

 Join us in celebrating International Single Parents Day!
Despite 1 in 4 families being led by a single parent, single parent families are often overlooked or misunderstood. Today, our community is celebrating the love, resilience and strength of single parents while challenging the unfair stigma they face. Our #SingleParentCommunity Campaign includes organisations across the UK and Ireland, supporting and advocating for single parents.
