About One Parent Families Manchester
One Parent Families opened its first regional office in Manchester on 1 October 2004. Set up in 1918 to tackle the poverty, isolation and stigma experienced by lone parents and their children, we offer information and advice lone parents can trust, through the Lone Parent Helpline, a wide range of publications, an interactive website and on-line helpdesk, free lone-parent membership and special events.
One Parent Families acts as a centre of expertise for professionals whose job it is to work with lone parents and their children. It also works with governments and policy makers to improve services, raise awareness and change attitudes.

John Amaechi
Top basketball star John Amaechi gave his first speech as our Ambassador at our 2004 Conference.
Describing how he was raised by his single mother in Stockport, Manchester, John told several hundred delegates: 'Despite the often unfavourable light in which lone parents are viewed, I'd like to express, from a personal point of view, how their children gratefully view them as their champions and heroes for life.'

Community Partnership Project Brief
Our employment programmes such as Marks and Start have been very successful, but they require that participants are proficient in English. However, our partner's clients often have considerable language and cultural barriers.
The idea behind the project is to give extremely hard to reach groups some of the benefits of a successful tried and tested programme.
The Community Partnership Project (CCP) emerged as result of discussions with four partner organisations in Manchester. The partners are African Caribbean Mental Health Services, Bangladeshi Women's Organisation, Wai Yin Chinese Women's Society and Women's Action Forum.
