**Campaign group Fathers4Justice is launching a charitable foundation to provide
life-saving support services for separated fathers. These will include a 24/7 “national
lifeline” and other social justice initiatives aimed at suicide prevention, men’s
mental health, homelessness, and helping men and boys in distress.**

The Fathers4Justice Foundation will be launched at ‘The Great British Superhero 
Banquet’ which will take place at Gibson Hall in the City of London on 19th February
2019. Superhero costumes are a signature feature of many of the group’s campaigning
actions.

The banquet will feature six Michelin starred chefs including Tom Kerridge, Daniel
Clifford, Glynn Purnell, James Close, Paul Ainsworth, and Michael O’Hars.

## Standing Up For Fathers, Men & Boys

The F4J Foundation will use the slogan “Standing Up For Fathers, Men & Boys” to 
represent its focus of addressing men’s health issues.

[Fathers For Justice](http://fathers-4-justice.org) founder Matt O’Connor explained
why the group had established a charity. He said: “The unfolding men’s health crisis
demands an urgent response – separated dads are three times more likely to die than
mothers after separation and around 70% of non-resident fathers are now living in
poverty.”

“The cancer of fatherlessness has a devastating impact on children which has led
to record levels of mental health problems amongst children, and a knife crime epidemic
amongst teenagers and young people in fatherless inner cities.”

He added that 12 men take their own lives every day.

He continued: “We are developing a number of social justice initiatives through 
the Foundation to not only change men’s lives with our campaigning work, but also
save lives and improve the outcomes for fathers, men and boys.”
