Adults urged to contact their fathers
10 Jun 08

A quarter of British adults are too busy to spend time with their fathers, according to a report out today.
A survey by ICM Research for Help the Aged and Zurich Community Trust also found that nearly half wanted more contact with their fathers.
As the number of elderly men living alone tops one million for the first time, one in five adults have no contact with their fathers at all. And two in five adults will not visit older fathers on Sunday, which is Father's Day.
The report highlights increasingly hectic lifestyles and the fact that many adults live far away from their fathers, as the main reasons for the findings.
