June Round Up!
It was another busy month at Dads Rock. As well as our usual playgroups, online and face-to-face workshops (in both Edinburgh and Glasgow), we held our Dads Rock Academy End of Year Show, launched our 10th Birthday Appeal and more.
Dads Rock June Activities
Our Dads Rock Academy students showcased their talents at the End of Year Show on Tuesday 28th June.
Well done to all our students, you were awesome! Check out a wee clip of 'We Will Rock You' from the night - DRA End of Year Show
Dads Rock were excited to attend the Scottish Charity Awards on Wednesday 15th June as finalists in the Community Action category. We didn't win on this occasion, but we would like to say a massive congratulations to all of the amazing winners and finalists! Scottish Charity Awards
Although we were gutted that due to circumstances outwith our control we had to cancel our Father's Day Family Takeover 2022, we were delighted to have the wonderful Macastory join us at our Sunday Playgroup on Father's Day for some storytelling and songs!
As part of our 10th Birthday activities, we launched our 10th Birthday Appeal to help Keep Dads Rocking! We rely on the generosity of our amazing supporters like you to keep all of our valuable services running. Without you we wouldn't have made it to 10 years, but we still need your help to make sure we can keep going for another 10 years. Please donate what you can and let's Keep Dads Rocking!

With three route lengths, from the Wee Wander (4 miles) to the Mighty Stride (24 miles), there's a Kiltwalk for everyone! And even better, everything you raise for Dads Rock will be topped up by a HUGE 50%* thanks to the generosity of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation. That means if you raise £100 we'll receive £150!
