FNF was like a good advisor turning friend

FNF was like a good advisor to start with and then turning into a good friend shortly after. The amount of practical help and guidance was overwhelming. I cannot thank them enough, especially Ian F. They Haven the knowledge, experience, patience and understanding any father or parent as a master of fact needs.
Tkank you from the bottom of my heart

Best peer support for parents separated from their children

I connected with FNF first, back in 2010 when my daughter was first born and I was omitted from the birth certificate. Not being able to see or be part of your child's life was a very distressing experience and having the peer support during this time was invaluable.
Over a period of time I was able to navigate the court process and establish a strong relationship with my daughter including a transfer of residence. Fast forward 13 years and I have reconnected with FNF to get further support due to ongoing issues. The Manchester Branch have been absolutely fantastic and I couldn't recommend this charity organisation more highly.

FNF have been a great help through my proceedings. Lot's of lived experience which can often be better than some legal advise. The family courts are a minefield and without FNF would've been £thousands worse off!! The forum's are great for advice at all times of the day and night, the shared experiences have been invaluable.

FNF are the leading charity in the UK supporting parents trying to secure meaningful contact with their children. An absolutely fantastic organisation. A must for anyone going through the family courts who needs support. Although the focus is on Dads, they also support Mums and Grandparents with navigating the court system regarding child arrangement and contact issues. I could not have got through this without the support of FNF.

Great place to belong

Great place to belong when faced with the unfair system of UK family court. David & Co from Harrow do a wonderful job by listening, supporting and guiding one thru the travails of the system.

David & FnF are the only reason why I’m where I am today.
I have had full custody of my daughter now for over 4 years.
At the start of my journey I stumbled across FNF in harrow that was chaired by David. I attended many meetings, some of which were not easy but now I look back were for the greater good. David and the group’s willingness, knowledge and encouragement kept me going and trust me there were time when I was this close to throwing in the towel. Thanks David for everything you and this group did to help me on my journey.

David provides a brilliant service to a community of Dads at the North Harrow FnF Branch. If it wasn’t for him, mosts Dads wouldn’t be able to see their children. As laws are anti fathers.
