How this cause brings people in the community together
Cornwall One Parent Support provides a much needed service for the community. The project aims to address the social stigma of being in a one parent family and improve cohesion in the community. The project aims to improve integration for the children attending school feeling excluded among their peer groups due to the financial restraints, preventing the family going on activities/outings.
