Single Parents Day 2025
Celebrating the single parent community
This year, for Single Parents Day, Single Parent Rights 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.
By joining forces, we aim to amplify our voices, reach more families, raise awareness of available support, and build stronger connections among single parents and the organisations that work to support them.

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.
