SPW began with a walk - and it's grown because people believed in it.

It exists because of this community. Because of the people who show up, share, volunteer and support each other. Every step forward has been possible because of you.

SPW relies on fundraising to continue. There's no big organisation behind us. It's us. Grants, donations and challenges like Steps for Connection are what allow us to keep our events accessible and reach more families across Wales.

This year, we're launching Steps for Connection for the first time - inspired by how we first began. Walking 161,000 steps in March, it works out at just 5,200 steps a day. Each step represents a single parent family in Wales. We're aiming to raise £10,000 to help sustain and grow this community.

If it feels right for you, we'd love you to walk with us, share the challenge or simply cheer us on.

Thank you for being a part of this.

During the fabulous Trauma Informed Parenting workshop we ran last week we learnt how important our own regulation is, in order to support our children in their big feelings.
Ahead of Half term we thought it would be helpful to share some breathing exercises and mindfulness tips for us parents.

If you are juggling work and children over the half term or you need an extra little support then please do take a look at the exercises listed in the link below!

Steps For Connection
161,000 steps. One for every single parent in Wales. 💛

Connection changed my life when I needed it most, and now we’re walking to make sure no single parent feels alone.

I’m testing the challenge on maternity leave (baby + what feels like nonstop 2026 rain 🌧️👶)… and we’re already halfway there — half the people we need have signed up!

Will you help us reach the rest by March?

Sign up. Share. Donate.
Raise your steps. Raise the total. Support single parent families across Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This Children's Mental Health Week we want to shout out about fellow charities, services and organisations across Wales supporting young people.

Whether we've worked directly with them or cheerlead them from the sides we've listed some brilliant organisations below that offer youth clubs, online support, resources and events for young people. Check them out below and let them know we sent you if you reach out.

At our recent C4C session, we asked young people a simple but powerful question:
“What helps your mental health?”

Their answers came straight from the heart - football, family, friends, food, music, C4C, Ninja Warriors, animals, art & crafts, reading, writing, anime, YouTube, Minecraft, horse riding, sleep, self-time… and so much more.

These moments remind us that children’s mental health is shaped by feeling safe, heard, supported and free to enjoy the things they love. When young people are given space to express themselves, they thrive.
At SPW, we are committed to supporting children’s mental health by creating inclusive, nurturing spaces where every young person feels valued, understood and encouraged to be themselves — every single day.
Because looking after young minds today helps build stronger, healthier futures tomorrow.
