About us

Background

The Single Parent Family Association Inc (SPFA) was launched in April 1996 with a vision to create an association that would allow single parents to get together with their families in a safe, non-threatening environment and focus on the unique and special challenges of raising children alone.

Single with Children was launched in Oct 2005 as a social group name which more clearly communicates who we are and what we stand for – our vision remains the same.

This is achieved through social activities where single parents can meet and relate to others in similar situations.

We are self-directing, changing as the needs of our members change.

An elected committee runs Single with Children according to a set of Rules and Regulations, with By–Laws. As Single with Children changes, these By–Laws can be changed to meet the needs of the members.

Aims

To provide an environment of understanding and companionship, through interaction with other single parents and their children, so that both adult and child alike, can develop their confidence and self esteem.

Committee

An elected committee runs Single with Children. All committee members are single parents and are volunteers. Some positions have non-Committee assistants to help spread the workload.

A committee meeting is held each month. The newsletter provides information on when and where, see the Getting started page for more information on how to obtain this.

An annual general meeting is held each May to elect new committee members.
