Abertay and One Parent Families Scotland Working Together

Abertay works in partnership with One Parent Families Scotland by providing premises for OPFS Dundee at Families House in Grampian Gardens, Fintry. From there, OPFS Dundee is able to provide support to single-parent families with children aged 0-16 across Dundee.

Their vision is of a Scotland where single parent families are celebrated in all their diversity, are treated fairly and live free from discrimination and poverty.

The OPFS website, particularly the “My Life & Me” section offers a range of advice, support and information on the areas single parents tell us is most important to them.

They also have a single parents forum where parents can chat anonymously to one another about any topic.

OPFS Dundee delivers support to single-parent families through 1:1 work, group work, events and activities focusing on six priority areas:
• children
• health & wellbeing
• home
• money
• relationships
• work, education & training
