Single Parents Support and Advice Services

Single Parents Support and Advice Services (SPSAS) is a charity for single parents across the UK. We promote equal and fair treatment of single parents and their children. We help single parents by giving them access to services and support that they would not normally have access to for a number of reasons. We run groups that provide members with support on issues such as mental health, domestic abuse, and children with additional needs. This has a positive impact on our 46,000 members as they feel less alone, less isolated and can interact on our on-line events. We offer care hampers (funding permitting) to the most vulnerable single parent families which is an on-line shop delivered with a weeks worth of food and essentials in it. We also offer energy top ups to members who cannot afford to top up their prepayment meters, as due to the cost of living crisis our referrals have doubled and it really is a choice between heat or eat. We also have a charity shop which we are low priced or if the family is really struggling we donate the goods that they need, we are not about making money, its about helping the local community. We find we get really positive feedback on this.

Summit Life Coaching

'Have you ever felt like you're drifting and struggling through your life? Not fulfilling the ambitions that your younger self once held and wishing for more? If you've ever felt there's more to life than the monotonous grind that you've had to go through day after day, we can work together to uncover your passions and help to fire your soul once more. Life and mindset coaching with me will help you to find the key to unlock those areas that are holding you back and help you to live the life you dreamed of. Having trained with renowned life coach Carole Ann Rice at Pure Coaching Academy and using a wealth of knowledge from lived experiences myself, I can help you recognise and achieve your goals. We will work together to create a pathway to reaching set goals whether it be in your professional life, personal life or both. Working with you on your mentality and unlocking those doors that have stubbornly refused to budge. Please feel free to contact me through my website below and we can arrange a discovery call to see if life & mindset coaching is for you.'

  If you are going through a Divorce and would like to sort out your financial and childcare arrangements, I would highly recommend contacting Katy. I had previously spent thousands of pounds playing 'ping pong' with Solicitors but wish we had just gone straight into mediation from the beginning. With Katy's help, we managed to come to an agreement in a timely manner at a reasonable cost.
