Fundraise for Us
You can make a difference
Single Parents Wellbeing is a peer led organisation. That means that everything we do comes from a need that our members tell us about. It’s a fantastic way of working together and making sure that all the things on offer are wanted and needed.
Our mission at Single Parents Wellbeing is to empower single parent families by providing a supportive community that enhances mental wellbeing, nurtures connections, and combats social isolation, enabling families to thrive together.
We are a community of single parents for single parents and have the most awesome team of volunteers at every level of SPW to make great things happen.
We would love for you to fundraise for us so that we can keep being awesome and support our community in a meaningful way.
“SPW really helped me a few years back. Grateful to all wonderful people who put so much work into creating events to help single and lone parents.”
From spare change to changing lives
Whether you are thinking of summiting Pen Y Fan or doing a wellbeing walk on a lunchbreak we want you to know that all funds raised for us go directly to our community.
