Is there like a (support) group or something I can donate to or help for single and childless women?

Maybe seems like a weird question, but I was wondering.
Partly because that is a group I’d like to help and partly to perhaps meet other women like me who are in a same situation and support each other.

What would you suggest donating to a childless, single woman?

Here if you feel like donating money, wine, expensive scent or cashmere sweaters, OP.....

I can't see why that demographic should be in particular need of donations.

Well, no more than any other demographic. Any particular reason you feel that us childfree singles are in need of aid, OP?

What 😂😂😂

Ooh, I wouldn't mind some gold-leaf gin, if you're offering?

I think there are some meet-up groups too if you're looking to socialise rather than just support the impoverished (who definitely exist but are probably less in need than families with SN children, etc)

Wanting to donate to support and wanting to meet are 2 quite distinct things.

I think Gateway Women is possibly what you're looking for? gateway-women.com/

What support do you imagine we need?

If you want to meet new friends join a hobby group or volunteer in your community.

Wanting to meet other single and child free women is one thing but I’m not sure why you thing that’s a group in need of charity.

My city needs a double income to buy a house, so my single, child free self would take that, please :) Gin and M&S vouchers also nice.

Yes this. Or https://fertilitynetworkuk.org/ if it’s about support with coming to terms with childlessness

What help and support do you think single and childless women need?
genuine question….🤷🏼‍♀️

I’d have thought they are generally in a better position relatively financially than single women with children, or even many women in partnership with children. Yep, they’ll be poor and rich single childless women, but compared with having a child as well they’ll be better off.

they’re no more likely to suffer from DV or other abuse and trauma than any other women. Yep, MN is full of stuff around people judging childless women, but women with children are judged continuously too, whether as part of gender bias at work, to critique of their parenting skills

im genuinely struggling as a single older woman to see what a group needs just based on that specific dynamic alone?

if you actually mean you’d like to meet up with other single and childless women in your area to get a support NETWORK for yourself and others , then I’d start with your local face book/instagram sites and places likes gyms, post office, supermarkets to put up notices to garner interest. I know a lot of people also use Next door sites, and then there’s also apps like “meet up” where you can create groups other people can see. Have a search on line.

btw…yes it’s a good thing to develop networks for support locally, not knocking it. I’m retired and divorced and moved shortly after. As I’m retired I joined U3A to do just that and have a lovely set of female friends as part of my social network now. As I get older I’m going to be in need of social network that can help me out occasionally, as I do with the elder women in my groups now with lifts, visits when they’re poorly etc

Not sure why single and childless/childfree women would need a support group...... they are probably way too busy, having a fabulous life!

Why do you think this, as a matter of interest? We still have mortgages, bills, food shopping, unexpected expenses....we aren't ALL the high flyers on mega salaries that seems to be a common misconception about single women without children.

I take donations in the form of cash, cheques, gold bars or gemstones. I also accept fine chocolates and pics of cats with fluffy tails. TIA

Single women only have one income, on average make less money.

The society is made for coupled up people and parents, there is still left over stigma.

Single people CAN be lonelier and more isolated.

Need of people who are in same situation / lifestyle.

Pp’s listed things couples/parents/kids can have prrpöems with, but there is so many charities and meet-up or whatever to them already. And I don’t, persobally, have motivation or place in these things.

Hobestly, I don’t really ynderstand why so many snippy responses. On feminist site no less.

Hi OP, get you over to the childfree board.

The responses were probably because donating to childfree single women (and I am one) seems a bit of an unlikely cause.

You can feed a child in India-or any other country with no social security- for very little.

This is totally opposite of what was asked.

get you over to the childfree board.

Oh, I didn’t know that was a thing.

Is it? I find it weird that you conflate meeting child free women and donating to them. I don't find educating girl children in countries that desperately need it- or even helping women support themselves in poorer countries- contrary to feminism. And this is the feminism board.

Yes. I didn’t ask how to help children.
Like I said, the world is full of charities and help for them, wouldn’t even have to look for them.

But what I have more interest in, I know and can’t find anything.

I know this is a feminist board, why say that?
That’s why I’m here.

Why do single, childless women need financial support?

Why do you want to donate only to childfree and single women? Do we have to be poor? Do we have to have experienced trauma? Do we have to have issues with fertility? I'd pick a proper cause that affects a lot of single/childfree women and go with that, rather than making being childfree or single the cause.

Not all single and childless women are sad about it. I know a few who are travelling the world and spending tons of time with their friends, and I'm sometimes quite jealous actually, haha.
