Ste Walker, founder of Solo Parents United Northwest. A support network for solo parents across the North West are planning to hold more events in Preston.
Solo Parents United Northwest Group has over 1,800 members and aims to bring solo parents together across the UK by holding events and advice sessions.Set up by Ste Walker, a single dad himself from Darwen, the group offer advice and support for those who may be struggling to cope or who may be fleeing situations, such as domestic violence, with their children.: “We are an often overlooked group of people who are singlehandedly raising the next generation.
They hold events across the county with plans for family days in Avenham Park this summer, evenings for parents in Preston and even a Blackpool holiday in August. “But, children are the key. If parents are empowered then the children will be too. We want to help with confidence and sharing advice.”The group have now set up first-ever Solo Parents United Northwest football club which is launching this month, funded by Lancashire County Council, after the success of single-parent events across Preston, Chorley and Fylde.
It is aimed at under 7’s and 8’s, exclusively part of solo parent families or nuclear families, with the idea of those not having to commit to a full season.Ste said: “It’s different to a normal football club. We’re not in a league and we will be playing friendly matches.“There’s no commitment, so if a child is staying at their dad’s one weekend and can’t attend they don’t need to worry if they miss a game.
