Our cause is the right to children to a relationship with both their parents and with their wider families on both sides.
In a wholesome society, that would be taken for granted. It's in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely supported international treaty in the history of humanity. The UK has ratified it.

Boost to Government Child Care Payment
The Department of Work and Pensions has revealed that Universal Credit’s maximum childcare payments will rise nearly 50% this month up to 1,630 pounds per month for two children. Find out more here. The governments stated aim is to get parents back to work. Given that childcare costs have risen dramatically, and many single parents are expected to add extra funds to the government-assisted places, one wonders if work is the first thought on hard pressed parents' minds.

A father who attends our meetings called us to express infinite gratitude for the support and guidance offered in our meetings. He was lost for words and tearful as he had just been reunited with his children after 2 years of no direct contact with them.
He emphasised that without the support and services of FNF-Both Parents Matter he would have not achieved such a wonderful outcome for the children.
Massive thanks to FNF on behalf of this humble and awesome father who fought tooth and nail for his children to have better outcomes in life and enjoy the love and warmth of a legendary dad.
