We improve outcomes for Children by inspiring their Dads and Families.
We offer:
Playgroups- For Dads/Granddads/Male carers. We currently run 2 playgroups for Dads and their kids (aged 0-5 yrs). Our Saturday playgroup is in Granton and Sunday playgroup is in the City Centre.
Young Dads- We support vulnerable Young Dads, aged 25 or under. Providing vital coaching for them.
School Work - We work with primary schools helping develop parental engagement and acting as positive male role models to the children within the schools. In secondary schools we promote gender equality, fatherhood and its importance to both boys and girls, for whom starting a family may not be far off.
Outreach- We provide story and song sessions for local nurseries.
Workshops - We run a range of workshops for Dads to attend, such as Antenatal, First Aid, Sleeping, Feeding and Hairstyle.
Father’s Day family event- For the last six years we’ve been running a free family on father’s day, in 2019 it was held at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh, with over 2000 people signed up on the day.
