About Us

It takes a village to raise a child, lets rebuild it

Our story

The idea of United Parents was born from a memory and an observation.

In the French countryside, my mother carpooled with other parents to manage the school run, which was a practical and helpful solution for all three families.

Years later, I noticed patterns in my office: mothers leaving work at the same time to pick up their kids, each driving separately.

This platform is a modern version of what already works: a community-driven carpooling solution designed for parents.

Driven by values

Our solution contributes to fewer cars on the road, lower emissions, and healthier urban environments.

This solution is built on trust, community, sustainability, and inclusion. We believe in empowering parents, particularly women, through shared support. By creating a safe, parent-only network, we’re championing a return to community-first thinking.

Addresses the disproportionate burden of school runs often placed on women by creating a supportive system.

Promotes affordable and sustainable transport systems that reduce congestion and pollution in urban areas. In 71% of UK towns and cities, children breathe unsafe levels of air pollution. (UNICEF, 2018).

Encourages actions to reduce carbon emissions by minimising car usage through shared travel.
