Hats off to FNF ...In a country where the system is alienating children from Fathers and helping break families, FNF doesn't just mean Families Need Fathers, its Moto is Families Need Both parents and it provides fabulous constructive support mechanism

Excellent sensible advice helping you through court without spending thousands. A Child focused approach to deal with the pain of the family court system and other parents who can be using the legal aid system against you. Additionally, friendly supportive assistance from others who have gone through false allegations and parental alienation.

A charity which helps parent in every aspect to ensure a child has both parents in their lives. Offering peer support, camaraderie, support for family court issues through weekly meeting held across many locations. Membership fee is minimal and I have been looked after very well by David Dunne - chair of FNF Harrow. Actually my daughter has a dad in her life because of this selfless gentleman. My salute to him and many others like this who run this fabulous charity. Thank you for what you do 🙏

I contacted Families Need Fathers (FNF) because my son was having difficulties seeing his children and he did not understand or know how to manage the family court system. I found FNF to be extremely kind and supportive. They offered advice helped us understand forms and procedures and explained the process. The support we received was incredible and we will always feel truly grateful for the help. Even on a late sunny Sunday afternoon a member helped us with our questions. I highly recommend FNF as they are knowledgeable understanding and informative, kind too.

I arranged a call back only to be told I need a solicitor. They explained that if I had put a contact order in when I was in hospital, it would have stated the ball rolling. I explained that I had no contact due to my ex blocking me. There is no help from these and even worse is the understanding of the situation isn't taken into account. It was pointless calling the help line as there is no actual help.

I am a paid up member of FNF, I have been going through 8nyears of court hearing to see my son. I initially joined up after someone recommended them. The experience to get assistant has been disappointing. First they don't repaond to email, you contact them and cannot get a hold of them, instead you get a volunteer that will say we are only here to listen, we are volunteers for FNF. I joined before and decided to cut my membership bit joined up back last November. You see news newsletters, they have their conference and invite bureaucratic baboons such as Head of CAFCAS, and others to speak and yet still nothing changes in the broken UK family courts. These people are a bunch of criminals, take you money and give you no support or respond to you when you call. They serve no real purpose but take up space and should you visit a local chapter in a pub, you get promises and I'll advice. DON'T RUSH TO JOIN DADS, you don't get any form of help.

I wish I joined FNF before my separation as I felt alone and went into depression. I joined FNF soon after my separation. As heartbreaking as it was to hear what will happen, the delays in seeing my kids - they were right. I spent £000's on family solicitors which in reality was pointless as FNF was all I needed in between the hearings. They have become a family to me now who support me and I support them. Be sure to join them and get the advice and support. FNF Harrow thank you for everything
