Hi All,
It is important to take time to reflect on where we are, as Individuals & Society.
When you look through the forum, you will see that from it's inception, it has helped to support Children across the UK that have been let down by Society & Government.
Our antiquated legal system, where reform is far too slow, has encouraged a large minority of parents to take advantage of the many gaps to cause detrimental harm to Children.
It is clear from Academic research that both parents fully involved in a child's upbringing provides for well balanced Adults who are able to contribute & benefit society but special interest voices continue to shout from the rooftops with their own agenda's.
Thankfully there are strong voices that continue to stand firm, both within the system & also from the outside - Dad's with Kids (DWK) is one of these ,a community of parents & partners who have given their time & energy to support those at the beginning of their journey's by providing a lighthouse in the darkness.
The members of DWK do it, not because there is a personal gain but because they care about building a society where children can continue to retain their innocence & experience a childhood of enrichment because as well all know, when you enter Society as an adult, it is tough & we need strong & stable personalities, families & communities to support us.
In November 2022 this forum was at 500 members:

In September 2023, 10m later, it was 1000 members:

In April 2024, only 7m later, it now stands at 1500 members, a testament to the strength of this community but specifically to @Ash who has worked tirelessly to support EVERY SINGLE MEMBER
For those of us who have come out the other side, @Ash we give you our thanks, on behalf of our Children whose lives you have touched & benefited for the better - they may never know but we will never forget.

Well done Ash
@Ash , thank you so much for setting this site up from scratch on your own to help non-resident parents (mostly dads) enduring uncertainty of divorce, separation from their children and the family court process. You have helped so many in so many different ways. The site has almost 500...

1000 members - well done Ash
@Ash What an unbelievable achievement to have started this forum for us with zero members and now it's up to 1000 members. This site that you invested time and energy into has helped so many of us. You've done more for us than the family courts, solicitors, etc. Thank you!

But I can't take all the credit. There are some long standing members who have given their time and experience for a long time as well. Proud Dad, Roblox, Stay Strong and Scotay have been here a while. Also Resolute, Stay Strong, Kyle and many others and more recent members. (Richie, Winger and yourself!).
