I was thinking about support for such things as,lone parenting,domestic violence, financial planning, first aid, ICT etc

Contact your local Social Services for help financially, as for domestic violence contact the police if it's still happening..or seek counselling to get through whatever it is you're going through now* Yes there are alot of challenges being a single parent raising children with no support* is not easy*(I know)~ GoodLuck*

all of those you listed are a must....i havent even had my baby yet and the financial planning alone has been a nightmare. single parenting help is a great idea as well...there are already domestic violence shelters but they dont cater specifically to mothers....also i think therapy services would be great for just day to day problems..when the stress gets to be too much or post-partum depression. Also in this area they have a program where you attend regular parenting classes during your pregnancy and after, and for attending they assist you with diapers, which helps with everyday questions as well as helping out a wee bit financially, its a great program.

personally, I would benefit the most from a safe playground in a controlled environment. Of the playgrounds near my house, one is too close to the road and the other usually has debris on and near the equipment. It would be nice to have a place I could sit and relax on the bench and watch him play.

Well I have a hearing impaired child and I think that there should be more support for carers and their children. I asked for some help with my eldest because I was having problems this was before christmas and I'm still waiting.... :(

Good daycare and help with transportation when necessary. Health insurance for parents and children.

Be careful that your children are not targeted for state-sponsored mind-control!
