On Father's Day weekend 2026, we will be setting out to walk 50 miles in the Peak District National Park in just 24 hours, hoping to raise £100,000 for Chapter2...

The UK is facing a fatherless pandemic. Nearly 1-in-2 15-year old boys don’t live with both parents, the majority of which live with just their mother. They will grow up to face far more challenges than your average boy. Unemployment, academic failure, depression, anxiety, gang involvement and poverty later in life are all far more likely for fatherless boys. 76% of young people in custody had an absent father.

‘Fatherlessness is the most harmful demographic trend of this generation. It is the leading cause of declining child well-being in our society. It is also the engine driving our most urgent social problems, from crime to adolescent pregnancy to domestic violence against women.’

David Blankenhorn (Fatherless America)

So, please, support us as we endeavour to write hope into the fatherless story.
