My Story

Thank you for supporting our team in fundraising for the 20th anniversary of the London Legal Walk. We will be walking 10km on Tuesday 18th June to support the most vulnerable in society to access life changing free legal advice.

Our Team

Our wonderful team is led by Billy, we have:

Simon Bruce our legal director, William Hogg and Jacequeline Fitzgerald from Laurus Law, Simon Miller from Harcourt Chambers and Veryan Exelby from Farrer & Co.

Our amazing Family Law Clinic Manager Ceri 

Finally we have our wonderful law students, without them it would not be a Dads House Family Law Clinic.

Why we are walking

We are walking with the Lady Chief Justice and thousands of lawyers to raise funds for Dads House.

Dads House aim is to make sure children remain the priority after a family breakdown. It was set up in 2008 by William McGranaghan (Billy) to help single dads with the practicalities of raising their children alone.

There are currently over 2 million non-residential dads in the UK and over 450,000 raising their children alone. Just in London there are 25,000 dads who are the main carers for their children. We have seen a huge change in society and these figures are expected to rise dramatically in the next 5 years. After raising his own son from an early age, William realised that there was very little support for fathers.Although there were a number of organisations available to help parents, there was no support for the practical side, no one to meet up with for a coffee and chat, people that would have an understanding of their struggles.

It was Billy's dream to create a charity that could offer the support needed by single dads so he set up Dads House.

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, your support is needed more than ever. Please sponsor our walkers as generously as you are able. 

Many thanks for your support.
