CANDLES 4 KIDS
FRIDAY 22ND APRIL Peaceful Demonstration World Wide
Your Local Family Court
7pm, candles lit at 7.30pm

To highlight the plight of families torn apart by the slow process of the
courts, and those children who find themselves without members of their
family after separation. This is a family-based event, a peaceful candlelit
vigil, an attempt to show the political parties and those involved in
children's issues that the support is out there and comes from every corner
- all ages, sexes and backgrounds. It's NOT just excluded dads who believe
children need 2 parents and need to feel the support of their biological
family - it's dads, mums, step-parents,
grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, friends, godparents, neighbours...
everybody.

People Power is the way forward - if we want change, we need to fight for
it. Hundreds of thousands of children are adversely affected by parental
separation and the problems that follow. Don't watch the news on the
television - create it! Bring your family, friends, colleagues... and a
candle. It is completely free and nothing is asked of you but your
support. candles4kids – just a group of individuals who want to make a
better life for all our children.

There will be supporters congregated at each main Family Court of every
major town and city. If you would like to show your support at your local
family court, don't wait to be asked... Do it!

Please show your support and encourage everyone you know to do the same. We
aim to have a strong presence from MP's and the media. Publicity is often
limited to national newspapers and news and as well as that coverage, we
want to achieve high levels of awareness at local and regional level. This
is to try and hammer home the idea that this
problem exists in your street, in your community, not only at the top of a
crane, or outside Buckingham Palace. It's widespread and it affects
everybody who has children, or is involved with children.
