This is all new to me, I don’t think I’ll fit in and I feel kind of self-conscious!
One thing about Parents Without Partners is that every member fits in since we have all been through what you may be going through now (whether it is divorce, widowhood, or just being single).  We all have a common bond, being single parents!  Many members and ex-members have established long-term friendships through our organisation.

I have a friend, who is not a member, but who I’d like to bring along to a PWP activity.  Is that OK?
Most PWP functions are for members and their children only.  The exceptions to this rule are the monthly Open dances held by some Branches and special fund-raising functions.

What kind of dress is expected at the dances and other events?
Dress for most events is neat casual.  For special events such as Branch or State Balls, a stricter dress code is applied.

Is PWP a dating service? 
PWP exists for the benefit of its members and their children.  We offer discussions, children’s activities and parent only activities.  Although members sometimes do date each other, PWP does not offer any service of this sort.
