A man who is fighting for access to see his son is setting up a new group to represent men's rights.

New Zealander Chris Pyle has set up home in Basildon and is trying to recruit members to work with him.

The group, Forlorn Hope, will provide a forum for men who can get together and talk their problems through. It will provide support for men who have had problems with crime, family break-ups and unemployment.
