One Parent Families Scotland (OPFS) is the lead partner working with Relationships Scotland and its member services, Families Outside and Fife Gingerbread. With the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit (SPIRU) taking on the role of our learning and evaluation partner. 

Weave is built on a straightforward principle: no single parent family should ever have to repeat their story, be passed between disconnected services or be told that someone else deals with that part of their life. Our My Life and Me framework ensures this doesn’t happen.  

My Life and Me is the beating heart of OPFS, it is a strengths based, trauma informed framework that was co-designed with families, for families. Using our My Life and Me framework, we build a holistic picture of each family’s circumstances, strengths and priorities. Together, we map the issues impacting families across six connected domains: money, work and training, home, relationships, children and health and wellbeing.  

Whatever door a family comes through, they join the same journey, with one shared plan built around a trusted relationship and what matters most to them. Through the Weave partnership, families will be supported as a whole, rather than in separate parts. At its centre will be a ‘no wrong door’ approach.  

Weave will be built around a hub and spoke model, strengthening the delivery of our services and expanding our reach across Scotland through the partnership. This will help more families to access the advice and support they need.  

As we implement the Weave partnership, we will be recruiting for a number of additional roles in areas including financial inclusion, advice and support roles. We are taking a phased approach to recruitment so keep an eye out for all the latest opportunities.  

At OPFS, we know that access to the right support and advice is a lifeline for parents. The launch of the Weave partnership will enable more families to access essential services. Weave will play a central role in helping us create a Scotland where single parent families can thrive.
