October Round Up!
From our Neonatal Family Party, to our Scottish Parliament 10th Birthday Celebration and our Halloween Party & AGM at Our Dynamic Earth, it’s been a busy month full of celebrations and parties for Dads Rock!
Dads Rock October Round Up
Dads Rock at the Scottish Parliament
Many thanks to Gordon MacDonald MSP for hosting our 10th Birthday celebration at the Scottish Parliament on 27th October. We would like to say a huge thanks to all the MSPs, funders and supporters who joined us on the day to celebrate Dads Rock’s 10th Birthday. It was a great opportunity to celebrate, thank some of our amazing supporters and highlight the important work we do improving outcomes for children in Scotland.
Halloween Party & AGM
We had a spooktastic time at our Family Halloween Party & AGM on Saturday!
We welcomed 150 Dads, Mums, Carers and Kids along to the event and there were some fantastic costumes, lots of tasty treats and fun Halloween themed activities!
Thanks to Our Dynamic Earth for hosting us and for all the fantastic activities they organised.
Neonatal Family Party
We held a Neonatal Family Party at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young people on 10th October. It was a great wee get together for families who have been in the Edinburgh Neonatal unit in the last few years. Thanks to all who came!
Thanks also to Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, Simpsons Special Care Babies and NHS Lothian Charity for supporting the event.
Glasgow Dads Night
It was lovely to meet up with some of our Glasgow Dads on Saturday 22nd October and enjoy a drink and a chat with some other Dads. It has been great to restart our Dads Nights Out again following the pandemic. Keep an eye on our calendar for the next one!
