Registered charity No. 1116309/UK

The idea for Men’s Aid was initialy concieved in 2002 as a way to highlight and help other parents who had problems with the inequality of the UK family courts and their associated services. Over time we realised that there was a lot of injustice and bias against men in local and central government policies and services. A Men’s Aid constitution was signed on the 15th of April 2006 and became a registered charity less than 6 months later on the 7th October 2006. The aim being to help and support all men suffering any form of abuse or discrimination.
Men’s Aid is run and supported by a group of concerned parents and professionals. (About).
