THE FATHERHOOD INSTITUTE 

The Fatherhood Institute is the UK's fatherhood think-tank. We collate the research on fatherhood, help shape government policy, influence the public debate about fathers, support services to be father-inclusive, and provide information and support to fathers and mothers to do their best for their children and for each other.

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:
