Very helpful and thay support me to won casefor my wife and children property medical reports matters.

Excellent group for separated Dad's seeking emotional and legal support. Good knowledge within group happily shared to help your advance your court case for children access and settling finances

Wonderful charity. I first attended FnF harrow ( North London) David drove from London to Peterborough and represented me consistently and elucidated the UK law on the legal system, my rights and child support over the years. After stormy waters, bitter and sweet. I am a proud parent with contact. Shame about the UK Legal system towards fathers rights. The fight continues

An outstanding support group, charity and campaign organisation that is pioneering the way forward for transparency and equal rights for both parents. Without this group I would have been lost. I am the grandmother of a son who had his children taken away by the mother and false allegations submitted to ensure no contact. It has been heartbreaking but reading the stories, being part of a community and having access to meetings gives information, advice and the hope and knowledge that it can change. I will keep supporting my son and grandchildren so they are together in the future. Sara

Divorce can be truly heart-wrenching for families, and when it comes to navigating family court, the experience can be traumatic, often leaving behind lasting scars. Thankfully, organizations like Families Need Fathers (FnF) are there to lend support. Their members not only offer guidance but also share their own personal journeys through this challenging process. It's no secret that the family court system and Cafcass are in dire need of reform. The fact that Cafcass holds a mere 1-star rating on Trustpilot underscores this pressing need. While some might assume that groups like FnF are biased towards a specific gender, my personal experience tells a different story. In truth, both parents are integral to a child's well-being. The right of a child to maintain a meaningful relationship with both parents is undeniable. However, even in situations where no safety concerns exist, the hurdles that surface post-divorce, particularly within family court, can be overwhelming and make upholding this right incredibly challenging. In this landscape, FnF plays a pivotal role. For fathers, the sensation of isolation is often overwhelming, and the fear that nobody will listen can be paralysing. FnF stands as a beacon of support, reminding fathers that they are not alone and that their voices do matter. It's crucial to engage and to never relinquish the fight to remain a cherished part of your child's life.

Its important to recognise all the volunteer dads within F&F Harrow who go the extra mile to support others (I am sure that there are many other similar heroes in every other branch too). So here's a shout out for: Vikas, Bahi, Gurdeep, Costas, Vinay, Dawud, Stevie and of course David. Thank you Mr Paul O'Callaghan, F&F Chair, for being the central catalyst that supports all the groups up and down the country and for providing the drive and purpose that enable us all to push in the same direction with purpose. If fathers are really as important as mothers, we need a much bigger voice on the national stage - that needs funding and political support. All that starts right here.

It's great fnf need to every single father. Without fnf lot of the father their hope dies to see there children with hafty solicitors fee. I have my son regular contact and now he live with me full time. This is only happened because of fnf. Keep it up fnf lots father out there needs you. Respect and salute fnf from bottom of my heart

Very good information for Father's who are going through a divorce, and have children. Full procedure is explained, there is no charge, just buy a coffee or tea for the person before you. There is free legal help available, and you will make friends who will help you unite with uour children. And stop the ex going blah blah blah in a court. This is my personal experience. Go meet Mr. David Dunne. Go on Saturday or get in touch when you need access to your loving children.

I have received best support and help from David and FNF harrow. I was desperate to see my daughter. Now I see my daughter regularly, I do spend a lot time with her, also can help her to grow and make right decisions on her way to adult life. That would not be possible without FNF. I'm glad that such support exist and help fathers to see them children. THANK YOU!

Invaluable help to an estranged parent

Very important and helpful organisation. It gave me good advice during my difficult family time. They deserve alot more respect for they important work.

It’s amazing organisation. Runs by volunteers. Also it’s the only organisation you can turn to and they will help you during your difficult time. Being a father, you don’t get much help from citizen advice bureau as people, assuming they will . Families and needs fathers goes with you the extra mile. From my own experience, I have struggled being on low income also no help from legal aid for been a good father . ( no domestic violence, ). The amazing people at families need fathers they help you at no cost they attend with you to court they help you with statements when you are ligament in person. What else I can say there isn’t any words to describe this volunteers and the work they do to help you. Keep up the good works

I attended the meetings at a very low point in my life due to the circumstance I found myself in and not being able to see my children. I found the group really welcoming and David in particular very worldly in the advice given and compassion shown to each individuals need and very much kept the meetings on track and focused on the separated parent getting the best advice and chance to re connect or maintain a healthy relationship with their child/children. I will forever be thankful for that time in my life when i literally felt alone but wasn’t. Thank you David for all the hard work and effort you put in you are a hero

FnF Harrow was instrumental in supporting me whilst I was struggling with a Child Arrangement Order. David Dunne, the chair of FnF Harrow encouraged a conducive environment where the fathers could seek practical advice and help in order to help them in their quest of being in their child’s life . Not only did the forum provide tangible, practical advice , it also provided much needed emotional and mental support. I will be forever grateful to FnF Harrow for their guidance and help .

This is a fantastic support line! Fortunately, I found myself in a vastly different situation to those around me and therefore was unable to find direct advice. However, I noted so many fathers in the same boat struggling with similar issues, receiving help, advice and mental support from more experienced fathers. For many, it's a lifeline. It was devastating hearing of some fathers not having seen their children in "years" due to minor altercations that their ex had planted against them. I'm no one to judge the nature of the fathers attending, nor did I know whether or not they were in the right or wrong, but one common thread that consistently lingered above all else was how the justice system biases mothers against fathers. I'm one of the lucky ones who benefitted from the court and managed to obtain a solid 50/50 arrangement. Most fathers are not so lucky. This group helps to alleviate some of the pain, provides guidance on how one should mechanically behave in order to gain the courts' systematic and corporate bias, and offers mental strength to those who need it most.

FNF - a charity that helps fathers and not only, helps the entire family without all of them knowing. Their meetings are very helpful as it is the place where you can learn from others experience and stories. Furthermore I can tell that is the right place where one can get an understanding about the family law and what they need to represent them selfs to the court.

A great network of supporting and knowledgeable people who have been through similar experiences which can provide support and helpful guidance in a very difficult scenario

Great group helped me with a number of issues with contact with children.

Family Need Fathers stands as a registered charity, possessing extensive knowledge and experience that aids families during times of separation. Their invaluable support has guided me with insights and information regarding child arrangements and divorce. This organization plays a pivotal role in ensuring fathers maintain meaningful connections with their children. I extend my gratitude for their efforts and encourage them to continue their impactful work.

Families Need Fathers, what an amazing group of people who run this. A wealth of experience and knowledge to help a parent in need. Their courses are truly educational and give good understanding for you to keep the child at the forefront of the potentially long tricky journey ahead. I can’t thank them enough for the help and continued support.
