Single Parents Day 2025
Celebrating the 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.
A united campaign
For the first time, Asian Single Parents Network CIC is joining 17 organisations across the UK and Ireland to launch a collective campaign under the theme: Single Parent Community.
By joining forces, we aim to amplify our voices, reach more parents, raise awareness of available support, and build stronger connections among single parents and the organisations that work to support them.
