The initiative, which is managed by the Family and Parenting Instituteon behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families, was setup in 2004 to help strengthen the work the voluntary and communitysector does with parents and families.
Baroness Delyth Morgan, children's minister in the House of Lords, said,'The additional support will help strengthen family relationships,provide support to fathers and encourage greater take up of existingparenting services. By funding these services we aim to help vulnerablefamilies and those who have not been able to easily get hold of theservices they need.'
