Kindred Community vs Parent Circle

Kindred is a free community app built by a single parent, for single-parent families. It was created from lived experience: the loneliness, the constant mental load, the practical juggling, and the feeling that most spaces were not really built for families doing life this way. Kindred exists to make single-parent life feel less isolating, more supported, and more connected. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Meet other single-parent families near you. Join local and topic-based channels, share honestly in the community feed, and message people you would genuinely like to get to know. PLAN ADVENTURES TOGETHER Kindred is not just about talking online. Adventures are at the heart of the app: days out, camping trips, holidays, festivals, meet-ups, and simple plans that are easier, lighter, and more joyful when shared with families who understand. GET PRACTICAL SUPPORT Find practical signposting for single-parent life across childcare, housing, money, legal rights, health, wellbeing, family support, and more. Kindred is opening carefully across the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, with support information shaped around each country. SEE WHAT'S ON NEAR YOU Browse local events from Kindred and the wider community, see what is happening nearby, and make real plans with other families. FREE. ALWAYS. No subscription. No premium tier. No paywall. Kindred is being built to keep community and support accessible, not locked away. Kindred was built with a simple hope: that single-parent families would have a space that feels warm, useful, and genuinely theirs. Not just somewhere to scroll, but somewhere to belong, be understood, and build a fuller life around the family you have.
