Our Mission
We exist to protect the bond between fathers and children.
Preserve Memories
A place to keep messages, photos, videos and moments that matter.
Keep Connections Alive
Bridge the gap created by separation and help children feel love, not absence.
Involve Family
Grandparents, relatives and loved ones can contribute and keep history alive.
Child First
Everything we do is guided by one purpose: the well-being of the child.
Why it is being built
There are children growing up today who have lost contact with their fathers. During that time, birthdays pass. Voices change. Memories fade. Family history gets lost.
But love does not simply disappear.
Still Here Dad is being created as a private place where fathers can keep photographs, written memories, voice messages and family stories for their children, even when direct contact is not currently possible.
Children should not lose access to love, history, and connection simply because relationships between adults broke down.
It is not about attacking mothers, taking sides in adult relationships, or bypassing court orders or safeguarding arrangements. It is about protecting something precious for the child: the knowledge that they were loved.
From Michael, the founder
This project comes from personal experience. Michael knows what it feels like when the relationship between a father and child is placed under enormous strain through circumstances outside the child’s control.
Through speaking to other fathers, he has realised how many people are going through similar situations. Some keep boxes of birthday cards they were never able to give. Some save photographs. Some write letters.
