Our Aim

We provide support for Dads 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.

We welcome ALL Dads/Male carers from families of all shapes and sizes, any nationality and including gay, trans and non-binary Dads at our groups and activities.
