Children and Families Act

A number of the reforms to the family justice system introduced by the Children and Families Act came into effect in 2015. The Act contains provisions that affect a wide range of areas including family law, children in care and education.

It can be quite confusing to find out what has changed, and what the effects of these changes might be. We have produced a short briefing supplement (available below) for FNF members which examines the Act, and highlights the key changes to private family law.

The briefing includes a summary of the Act, and analysis from former FNF CEO Dr Craig Pickering. It also features an exclusive interview with Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, in which she talks about her involvement in the legislative process and the Act’s potential impact. Dame Butler-Sloss also calls for a greater focus on enforcement measures in the family courts.

We hope this Briefing will be of interest to you; if you have any questions about how the Act may impact upon your situation, please contact one of our support services.

To download a copy of the Briefing, please click here.

Gift Aid Declaration

If you are a UK taxpayer, Families Need Fathers can reclaim tax on any donations you make to the charity. FNF can also claim tax back from your membership subscription, as this counts as a donation. This means that for every £1 you give us we receive a further 25p at no extra cost to yourself.

It costs you nothing but a little time.

 

How to do this

To make a Gift Aid Declaration on-line to FAMILIES NEED FATHERS, Reg. Charity No. 276899 you must ensure that you have entered your Full Name and Address (including Post Code) in your Profile and that your email address is also up to date.  It would also be a help if you enter a telephone contact number.  Finally you must tick the Gift Aid check-box in your Profile in the Additional Information tab.  Doing so will confirm that you would like Families Need Fathers to reclaim tax on all qualifying subscriptions and donations since 6 April 2000 and all further subscriptions and donations that you make from the date of this declaration until you notify us otherwise. You also confirm that you have paid an amount of UK income tax or capital gains tax equal to any tax reclaimed.

Please notify the charity if:

  • You change your name or address
  • You no longer pay tax
  • You want to cancel your Gift Aid declaration at any time

NB. In order for us to reclaim tax you must be a UK taxpayer.

 

If you would prefer to fill in a written Gift-Aid form this can be downloaded here:

Give-A-Car

 

Do you own a banger that's merely gathering dust in the garage? Then you can help to raise funds for FNF!

We work with two car recycling schemes that can turn your car into a valuable donation for us. You can find details on how to donate via these schemes below.

 

 Charity Car is the big hearted scheme from the UK's largest car recycling network CarTakeBack.

Your old car can be collected for free from anywhere in the UK at your convenience and turned into the maximum donation for FNF - that's 100% of its market value if it's ready to be recycled.

Whether your car is auctioned or recycled at an Authorised Treatment Facility, we'll help you complete the necessary paperwork and if required issue your DVLA Certificate of Destruction, freeing you if any responsibility.

To find out more and donate your old car to FNF with Charity Car, visit www.charitycar.co.uk/families-need-fathers or call 0844 669 6889.

 

 

 

Giveacar is a non-profit fundraising organisation that specialises in donating unwanted and scrap cars to charitable causes, like Families Need Fathers.

They provide a FREE service which is available throughout the UK, and can work with you hand-in-hand in the following ways:

  • They can arrange the collection of the vehicle;
  • Depending on its age and condition, they will either send it for environmentally safe disposal and recycling at an Authorised Treatment Facility, or to a salvage auction.

Giveacar will take 25% of the profits and the rest will be donated to Families Need Fathers.

Since Giveacar was set up in 2010, the organisation has already raised over £800,000 for 900 charities!

To arrange collection of a car, visit Giveacar.co.uk or call 020 0011 1664, quoting FAMILIES NEED FATHERS as your preferred charity.
