Thanks Matt. A great opportunity. Caring Together is a key to D-Dads.
New Dads welcome across WA.

Dinner at Parliament on Wednesday was a bit more engaging than usual as I hosted the D-DADS. This is a group of fathers in leadership roles who are deeply committed to advocating for their own children, and others, living with disability.

The evening was a valuable opportunity to connect, share a meal, and chat about raising awareness about disability and how to advance inclusion for all.

A sincere thank you to all those who attended and contributed to such thoughtful conversations.

D-Dads at Cahoots

That’s right! Colluding or conspiring together ( cahoots ) is a bit like us too! We share the same inspirational tone to our work and with a caring together attitude and intent.
At Cahoots Bayswater headquarters on Monday night we shared our missions and some wholesome discussion over a some enjoyable light refreshments.
Joining us was local MP Dan Bull and PeopleKind Group CEO Mark Fitzpatrick.
This time we had support from Kalpesh, Lilou and Marie from Cahoots and recorded our latest visit with some good pics here.
Finally got our act together with the group shot!
Thanks to all the D-Dads who could make it and too Dan and Mark for coming along.
