Families Need Fathers is a registered UK charity which provides information and support to parents, including unmarried parents, of either sex. FNF is chiefly concerned with the problems of maintaining a child's relationship with both parents during and after family breakdown. Founded in 1974, FNF helps thousands of parents every year.

The annual subscription costs less than a few minutes of a solcitor's time, and gives access to a wide range of information and support that is beyond the scope of some lawyers. They have a rapidly growing number of grandparents and women members.
