A charity that supported male victims of domestic abuse is to close “due to circumstances beyond our control”.
The Ashford, Kent, based charity offered support to men with mental health problems, single fathers and men suffering from abuse.
It launched in 2017 and run one of the UK’s first specialist support services for male victims of domestic abuse.
In a statement on its website, which has now closed too, it said: “This decision has been made due to circumstances beyond our control, and we are working hard to ensure that those who currently rely on our services are supported.”
A further statement on its Facebook page added: “After years of committed service to the wellbeing of separated dads and male victims of domestic abuse, Dads Unlimited will sadly be ceasing operations.
“We are incredibly proud of the life-changing work achieved by our team, volunteers, and partners across the UK. Thank you to every funder, stakeholder, supporter, and client who placed their trust in us.
“While this is a difficult moment, we remain proud of our legacy and the awareness we helped bring to the challenges faced by men in crisis. Together, we made a difference.”
According to the charities register for the financial year ending March 2024 its income was £855,630 and its spending was £564,800.
