Branches
Our branches continue to provide a ‘front-line’ of support within the community, providing an invaluable resource to parents needing help on an ongoing basis. Branches are organised and run by our motivated volunteers who facilitate the sharing of advice and support between members, old hands and new-comers. They are also regularly attended by ‘outsiders’ in the form of solicitors or other advisory services who are willing to extend the benefit of their services to members on a pro gratis basis.
McKenzie Magazine
The McKenzie magazine is sent out five times a year to approximately 3,000 members and 500 movers and shakers, including other organisations concerned with child welfare and family law and policy, judges, politicians and journalists. McKenzie is the leading newsletter in the sector of shared parenting and provides updates on legal developments as well as social ones on ongoing parenting of children.
Articles continue to face the barriers to shared parenting head-on, taking the CSA to task, and even, controversially, the NSPCC in the last year. It has covered noteworthy events such as the meeting between FNF and the Lord Chancellor as well as the absolute majority of MP support given to the principle of shared parenting. McKenzie remains an important vehicle for reflecting the views of the non-resident parent as well as providing useful information amongst members on each others experiences, successes and challenges and how these have been dealt with.
