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.
