Single Mother Support Groups

Let's Do Lunch unfortunately finished at the end of 2008.

A few groups managed to continue without funding and new groups are reforming or starting. Many organisations and individuals let us know about new groups. Most are free, and include food and childcare. Some charge a very small fee. Please contact groups directly to find out all details.

If you know of any groups that are not listed here, or of any here which are no longer running, please let us know so we can update this page. Contact the CSMC office on 03 9654 0327
