John Baker, FNF Chair says “Mr Dhanda’s support of Families Need Fathers is a strong indicator of the priority which the Government and society must rightly give to child welfare and the strength of family relationships”.

 

Formed in 1974, the self-help charity Families Need Fathers is recognised as the most knowledgeable representative of parents living apart from their children, and provides support and information to separated and divorced parents, as well as extended family and friends. FNF believe that every child has the right to a relationship with both parents during and after family breakdown.

Families Need Fathers (FNF) is a registered charity providing information and support on shared parenting issues arising from family breakdown, and support to divorced and separated parents, irrespective of gender or marital status. Our primary concern is the maintenance of the child’s relationship with both parents. Founded in 1975, FNF helps thousands of parents every year.
