One Family is working to ensure a positive and equal future for people parenting alone, sharing parenting and parenting around separation – changing attitudes, policies, services and lives. We are committed to achieving equality and respect for all families. While acknowledging that every family is unique, we will endeavour to bring about better lives for these parents and children. In addition to striving for fundamental attitudinal and structural change in our society, our services offer support in a family-centred way to individual families through times of change and difficulty, as well as supporting those experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.

We provide free, confidential, non-judgemental and HSE approved information, support and counselling on all options during an unplanned pregnancy and post-abortion. Call us on 01 662 9212.
We offer courses and workshops for people parenting alone who are looking to access education and work; for parents experiencing challenges and change; and for professional development.
We make policy submissions, undertake research in key areas, and advocate for better lives for one-parent families. In all we do, we are solution-focused.
