"You've got a friend..."

So the song by James Taylor and Carole King goes. But ladies, what happens when you don't have a friend?

"There were so many times I just needed some quick advice or experience, or wished I had likeminded individuals to share time and problems with." These are the words of Penny who found herself a single mum and couldn't find anyone out there to help.

Family and colleagues may care and sympathise with you, but you really yearn the support of other mums or single girls even recently divorced or widowed; women in the same boat, going through the same things you're going through, not just emotionally but maybe financially, with child-care issues or even day-to-day running of the house – coping with a blocked U-bend that needs sorting pronto.

"Being single? I got the T-shirt!"

So Penny decided to do it herself and create this resourceful community online, to be a shoulder to cry on, or to pass on your experiences to help other girls. And so 4orty plus was born. At 4orty plus their aim is to bring a whole new world of local support network to you, helping you move 4orward on this new journey.

As a 4orty plus member you become part of an all exclusive club, with like minded people from varying backgrounds and circumstances but having one very important thing in common, being single.

Penny concludes "As we are locally based, we also want to arrange social events, as there's no such thing as a bad excuse for getting out of the house, and to negotiate exclusive 4orty plus member discounts from local businesses as a thank you for being a part of our community."

4orty plus is fun, informative and full of fresh ideas – why not give it a go?
