what we do
At Dads Rock, we believe that children thrive when dads thrive. Our Dads Workers provide support across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Tayside, North Ayrshire, and East Ayrshire, while our online peer support is available to dads anywhere in Scotland.
Our groups and activities provide a warm, stigma-free welcome for dads and their children to come together, connect and have fun.
Our vital one to one support helps see families through much bigger challenges. Click on the links below to find out how we support dads to tackle mental health isolation, poverty, and provide early intervention when families need it most.
Dads Rock welcomes ALL dads and male carers. Whatever your background, nationality, relationship status, or gender identity, there is a space for you here! 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.
