One
Family believes in an Ireland where every family is cherished equally and
enjoys the social, financial and legal equality to create their own positive
futures.
One
Family is working to ensure a positive and equal future for all members of all
one-parent families in Ireland � changing attitudes, services, policies and
lives. Together with one-parent families and those working with them, we are
committed to achieving equality and respect for all families.
In
addition to striving for fundamental structural change, we support individual
one-parent families as they parent through times of family, work and life
change, and those experiencing a crisis pregnancy. We know that every family is
unique, and so we work in a family centred way to bring about better lives for
parents and children.
In
One Family we work from a place of respect and acceptance of the parents,
children and organisations that we come in contact with. We work with
compassion, which means that we connect with others in a relationship of equals
and we are completely non-judgmental. We believe that we can hold the hope for
the families we work with, especially when they are unable to. We achieve this
through innovation, excellence, determination and our client-centered approach.
One
Family is an organisation of great courage as it has been from its foundation
in 1972. We continue to work with integrity to ensure equality for all families
in Ireland.
