One Family Stories

Lone parents are not all the same – one thing we know is that people of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances find themselves parenting alone or sharing parenting. In fact, one in five children in Ireland now live in a one-parent family.

Video
Here is a short video that highlights the need for constitutional change so that all types of families – including those with one parent – are recognised and protected.

Stories
You can read the stories of lone parents who have experienced One Family’s services here. A collection of case studies and stories of real one-parent families’ lives.

Take part in our documentary
We’re starting to gather stories of different people, to show what life is really like for lone parents in Ireland today. We are hoping to make some kind of documentary for radio or television to mark our 40th anniversary in 2012. If you would like to share your story with us, please contact info@onefamily.ie
