Help us to mark 8 decades of providing vital support services that empower single-parent families to reach their full potential.

For 80 years we’ve been committed to creating lasting solutions to the challenges of poverty and barriers that many single parents and their families face. We are now reaching out to you, whether you are a single parent, staff member, volunteer or supporter.  By celebrating the incredible work that OPFS has accomplished over the years, your story can inspire others to join our mission for a Scotland where single parents and their children are valued and treated equally and fairly.

Whether it’s a personal anecdote, a milestone achieved, a heartfelt message, photograph or poem, we warmly invite you to help us celebrate our legacy by sharing the stories that have shaped OPFS into the organisation it is today. We’d also love to hear stories from single parents of all ages, spanning as many decades as possible!

We’ll be using your photos and stories to build a brand new page on our website in celebration of our 80th anniversary.

Here’s to 80 years of making a difference, and to many more years of impact ahead!

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
