Restore the Family For Children's Sake is a political party launched in Great Britain for the 2015 Parliamentary General Election on 7 May 2015. The Party is a single issue party, whose only policy is to agree with Principle 6 of the 1959 United Nations’ Declaration of the Rights of the Child which states: 'The child, for the full and harmonious development of his personality, needs love and understanding. He shall, wherever possible, grow up in the care and under the responsibility of his parents, and, in any case, in an atmosphere of affection and of moral and material security; a child of tender years shall not, save in exceptional circumstances, be separated from his mother. Society and the public authorities shall have the duty to extend particular care to children without a family and to those without adequate means of support. Payment of State and other assistance towards the maintenance of children of large families is desirable.' 'He' includes 'she' - as per the second paragraph of the declaration's introduction.

Registered on 1 April 2015 with John Allman as Leader, Nominating Officer, and Treasurer and Andrew Bull as Additional Officer. A few days after party registration, Bull became Leader and Nominating Officer whilst Allman remained Treasurer. No further changes have occurred.

Allman stood for the North Cornwall constituency in the 2015 Parliamentary General Election on 7 May 2015 with the ballot paper description of ‘Let every child have both parents'. He received 52 votes (0.11% of a 72% turnout), coming last.

Bull stood in the Plymouth City Council elections for Budshead ward on 7th May 2015 with the ballot paper description of ‘Both Parents Matter’. He received 36 votes (0.60% of a 63% turnout) coming second to last ahead of the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition candidate.
