We recognise that fathers are less likely to engage in local services than Mothers. Dads sometimes feel left out or choose not to attend parenting groups. However, in modern day life fathers have an equally important role to play with their children, as more and more fathers are taking on a lead role in caring for their bundles of joy. Being a Mother and Father can be extremely demanding and your local Children’s Centre is here to help.
So Dads, if you would like to find out more about how you can get involved, or you need any support with anything going on in your life, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Here are some more useful links for Fathers-
Families Need Fathers
