Love Food & Wine? We know you do!
Who: All lovers of good food and wine.
What: Volunteer event committee recruitment for this year’s “Learn How to Have a Champagne Party on a Bucks Fizz Budget” charity event.
Why: This is an exciting opportunity to get involved with what has been a very successful annual charity event. This year for the first time we are putting together an event committee of people who would volunteer their time to assist with the creation and roll out of November’s event, in areas like logistics, charity auction & raffle and ticket sales.
Why: To actively assist with an established charity event in aid of One Family, Ireland’s leading support organization for people who are parenting alone or sharing parenting and their children.
We are happy to say that Ross Golden Bannon (Editor of Food&Wine Magazine) will be working closely with us on this event as he has done in the past.

One-parent families are already experiencing four times the level of poverty found in the general population and the measures introduced today along with those introduced in the last two budgets will , in One Family’s view , increase this inequality.

Budget 2009 Press Release
ONE-PARENT FAMILIES FACE THE FUTURE WITH FEAR NOT HOPE
One Family, the leading provider of specialist support services for one-parent families in Ireland, today calls on the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Mary Hanafin T.D., to ensure that the most vulnerable families are not forced to pay further for the excesses of others.
One Family believes that Budget 2010 has the potential to destroy all the positive work that lone parents, their representatives and state agencies – including the Minister’s own Department – have done to reduce poverty and improve the prospects of one-parent families in Ireland. Such families are already poorer following the last budget, and have less hope of accessing education, training and employment than they had a couple of years ago. Such families are already having to watch opportunities for their children decrease and are now faced with the prospect of also losing many of the services that provide vital supports for them in their local communities.

Pre-Budget Submission 2006
One Family welcomes the opportunity to make this submission in advance of Budget 2006. One Family has designed its pre-budget submission in the knowledge that the Government is considering significant developments in the area of support for solo parents and for childcare in Ireland. The submission is also made in the context that solo parents are increasingly Achieving Equality and Social Inclusion for All in Ireland disadvantaged as a group in Ireland in terms of poverty levels, social welfare dependency and access to services that help address these issues.
