Families Need Fathers (“FNF”), a charity dedicated to supporting loving and safe relationships between children and families post separation throughout England and Wales, has announced the appointment of Mr Sam Morfey as its new Chief Executive Officer. Sam has been a member of FNF for 17years, the branch secretary of the Exeter Support Group and most recently a Trustee and Board Member of the charity.
The Board received a significant number of applicants for the role, from some outstanding professional candidates. We take this opportunity to thank them all for their interest in the role.
Paul O’Callaghan, Chair of Trustees said “We are at a critical moment for the charity and we need renewed leadership to successfully implement our strategy, take advantage of the opportunities and tackle the challenges within the family court process. Sam is a qualified lawyer, with a proven track record of execution. He is a strong communicator, service-focused and with strong leadership skills.”
Sam said “I am very excited to be taking over as CEO of the charity. FNF provides invaluable and often front-line support to parents at a most difficult time. It also has a key role to play in promoting shared parenting for the benefit of children and society as a whole. I look forward to working with the Board and all stakeholders to move the charity forward.”
The whole board welcomes Sam and believes that his operational and communication skills, combined with his strong leadership abilities, will help the charity deliver improved service to our users, strengthen our financial stability, and lead the charity into its next phase. We are sure all our members, volunteers and staff will welcome and support Sam as he takes up his new role at the end of July 2023.
