Story

** Our January event has been rescheduled for 5th April 2018**

1 in 3 children will see their parents split up before their 16th birthday. 

Voices in the Middle is raising funds to build a new digital service to support young people in the middle of divorce and separation. This is now under construction.

The first working day of the year, is each year known as ‘Divorce Day’ (2nd Jan 2018). On this day, each year, there is an increase in requests to family law and mediation firms about divorce and separation, as couples hold out through Christmas and respond to the increased pressures over the festive season.

To mark 'Divorce Day' 2018, we have teamed up with Fun 4 Young People and the Bedfordshire Police Cadets to canoe and kayak 15 miles (over 7 hours), raising funds that will contribute to building our new digital service and reach 120,000 young people each year with help and support! 

As young people ourselves, we feel inspired to make a difference in such a relevant and important situation as divorce, as so many young people are facing it alone today.

If you are a family law or mediation firm, please also make Voices in the Middle your charity project at your Christmas party, meal or team event and support our fundraiser!
