Welcome to Fathers Plus

Fathers Plus Promotes and Supports Positive Fatherhood

Fathers Plus is a service of Children North East, the oldest independent children’s charity in the North East. The service has been providing specialist support to fathers, male carers and family services since 1997, and continues to support the development of father friendly policies and demonstrate models of good practice, which include and support family men.

Across the U.K. Fathers Plus’ projects support children, young people and communities by helping:

  • Children and young people benefit from engaged and equipped fathers and male role models.
  • Mothers benefit from supportive co-parenting relationships
  • Family men play an active part in family and community life


    • "A Father-Child relationship has a profound and wide ranging impact on children that lasts a lifetime."

    Minister of State for Children and Families
