A SUPPORT group being set up for lone parents in Andover is holding a launch on 25 May at the Charlton Lakeside Pavilion.

The Gingerbread Group is offering a fun day with team games and the chance for children to win a prize in the Andover Gingerbread Poster competition.

The day starts at 2pm and parents are invited to take along a picnic and a blanket.

Nia Blake, of the Hampshire Children and Families Forum, said: "Any lone parent, mum or dad, can come along with their children to find out what support we can offer."

Gingerbread will run the group until it is established and then parents can decide what to do.

New members can contact David Goode on 01980 556207 for entry into a free prize draw on the day.
