HELP MORE FAMILIES
You can help us to continue to provide our services for families across Scotland. Whether it's joining in with one of our events, getting your work place involved or donating you can make a difference.
Dads Rock is committed to supporting fathers and families. At our core is the belief that “Children thrive when Dads thrive,” and our vision is for every child to grow up with the best possible version of their family. We work to achieve this by equipping Dads with the tools they need to increase their parenting skills and feel more confident about their role as a parent, which is beneficial to their children. Many Dads feel that existing parenting support systems focus on Mums only. We want Dads to be equal when it comes to raising children and we hope that society will accept the vital role Dads play. 89% of UK men will experience fatherhood. Children have better outcomes in life when all parents are actively involved in their upbringing.
Dads Rock welcomes ALL dads and male carers—whether you're single or in a relationship, from any background or nationality, including gay, trans, and non-binary dads. We understand that families come in all shapes and sizes, and our groups and activities are here to support you, no matter your journey. All our services are free, ensuring that every dad—regardless of their financial situation—can access the support, community, and resources they need to be the best parent they can be.
