Our Events
Our events are all about connection, friendship and building your village. From relaxed walks, family days out to adult only events there is something for everyone.
Over the past year we've already created so many amazing memories together including holidays and even a sleepover at the sea life centre. This is just the beginning... we have so many more exciting events planned for the future.
What makes our events so special is the people. Members come from all different walks of life yet conversations flow naturally and connections form quickly. Children often make friends within minutes and it is lovely to watch those friendships grow alongside their parents.
We also encourage members to take the lead and organise their own events. If you have an idea you can create and share it in the events tab on the facebook group. As the group expands people setting up their own events helps the community grow and helps give opportunities for people to connect locally.
Whether it's your first event or you've become a regular at events you will always be welcome, included and supported at events.
Community Meet Ups
Relaxed meet ups
Our park meet ups, picnics and walks are relaxed welcoming spaces where parents and children can simply be themselves. Whether you're joining us for a coffee and a chat, a play in the park or a gentle walk with others who understand your journey these moments help build real friendships and a true sense of belonging.
Family Days Out
Creating memories
Our family days out include trips to zoos, bowling and a wide range of fun activities for parents and children. These events are the perfect way to spend quality time with your family whilst building connections with others in the community. Children build friendships of their own while parents watch their confidence grow.
Adults Only Socials
Time Just For You
Our adult only socials give you the chance to step out of parent mode. From meals out, nights out to spa days these events offer a safe, welcoming space where you can laugh, unwind and build friendships with people who truly understand your journey. Many meaningful friendships have started at these socials.
Holidays
Adventures Together
Our group holidays include trips such as Butlins breaks packed with activities alongside more relaxing camping getaways where everyone truly comes together. Children play together whilst parents enjoy conversations. Everyone pitches in together and supports each other which can make a holiday as a single parent so much easier.
Real Moments. Real Connection. Real Community.
These photos tell the story of Single Parents Friendship and Community UK. It shows strangers becoming friends, families finding their tribe and parents realising they are no longer alone in this journey. Every event is about connection, support and creating memories together. Together we are building a village where no one feels alone. You are more than welcome to be a part of our village.
Thinking of coming to an event but feeling nervous?
You are not alone.
We know how daunting it can feel to walk into something new. So many of our members felt the exact same before their first event too. Every person you see in our photos was a stranger at some point too. Almost everyone has fed back how nervous and anxious they felt before their first event however we consistently hear how glad people are that they made a big step of actually coming along. Taking that first step can feel intimidating but it's the one that often changes everything.
Before each event we create a group chat so you can start to get to know others. This helps build familiarity and confidence making the event feel less daunting because you'll feel familiar with a few faces already.
Our community is built on kindness, understanding and genuine connection. We make sure that new faces are welcomed warmly. SPFC exists so that no single parent has to feel lonely or isolated so we would love to welcome you into our community when you are ready.
