Families Need Fathers

FNF is the oldest fatherhood organisation in the UK. It supports fathers who are separated from the mother of their children, offering information, advice and support as well as running local groups you can join if you need personal support through the difficulties of separation and divorce.

The Fatherhood Institute

Founded in 1999, The Fatherhood Institute (previously Fathers Direct) is a charity that works to develop government policy and public/voluntary sector organisations to be more supportive towards father-child relationships.

Parentline Plus

Parentline Plus is a national charity that works for, and with, parents. They offer a 24-hour confidential helpline for parents. You can talk to them just to be listened to, to work things out and find solutions to family problems.

Fathers 4 Justice

Fathers 4 Justice captured public attention with their costumed demonstrations, highlighting the plight of fathers who were in conflict with the mother of their children after divorce.

Equal Parenting Council

The EPC is an advocacy organisation promoting shared parenting as the best arrangement for children after parents split up, unless a parent is unfit.

BabyFather

Set up by Patrick Augustus more than 10 years ago, The BabyFather Alliance aims to encourage responsible parenting among black males in the UK, in particular those who are separated from their children.
