We are on a mission to help dads, grandads and other male carers connect with the children in their lives.
We encourage dads-to-be, dads and male carers to use all our services. We know that this is not always possible due to work and other commitments, so are flexible in how we deliver services and listen to what you want.
Do you have any ideas on what would help you? Are there any activities you would like to do with the children in your lives? Let us know on our Catch the Comment Form.
We offer a variety of activities and event aimed at dads and male carers. Take a look at our What’s On Guides to see what’s coming up and view our News and Events page.
We know that dads want important information on how to care for their new baby, and what to expect.
The DadPad can help, by giving you the knowledge and practical skills that you need in order to give your baby the best start in life, look after yourself and support your partner.
"The Dad Pad gives support to new fathers who can often feel left out and unable to help when they're needed the most. And this can put a strain on both parents"
