OneUp is the first lifestyle magazine to be published with the growing market of single parents and step parents as its target readership. This is the first such publication in the UK and feedback from readers makes it clear that it is long overdue. The impetus behind the magazine was the editor’s own seven years as a single parent followed by recent remarriage and the introduction of a step dad into the family. Although there are organisations and websites for single and step parents there is nothing else comparable to OneUp on the market.

OneUp contains a mixture of the serious and the light-hearted, with real-life stories, practical and emotional support, childcare, legal and financial matters and analysis of relevant news as well as parenting issues, holidays and competitions. It is a high quality glossy magazine in full-colour contemporary design. Minimum 64 pages long and perfect bound it is published bimonthly and sold by subscription. The magazine is available nationwide to the 2.5 million single parents and the 1 million step parents in the country.

The magazine is available at an exclusive discount to members of Gingerbread, the organisation for lone parent families, which has a regular news and advice page, and OneUp donates £1 to the charity with every such subscription taken out.
