Disability Project: Parent Connections

Parent Connections is a unique information and support service for lone parent families affected by disability that is free, independent and confidential.

Our key objective is to ensure that lone parents and their children receive the services and support they feel that they need.

  • Are you a lone parent?
  • Are you or your children affected by disability?
  • Are you confused by the benefits system?
  • Do you feel as if you are going round in circles trying to find out what you are entitled to?
  • Looking for information on respite, support groups, specialised childcare, Trust Funds and other forms of financial assistance and recreational facilities?

How can we ease the pressure?

  • Our Disability Rights worker can advise you which benefits and other forms of financial assistance you may be entitled to and how to claim them.
  • We can provide practical information and keep you up-to-date with relevant news and information.
  • We can put you in touch with a range of national and local organisations that can offer further help and support.
