 
Dads matter too!
We recognise that community services can often appear to be geared around the needs of Mothers and Dads can feel left out. However, we feel that fathers have an equally important role to play with their children and have needs of their own - after all children don't come with “instructions!” and a parent's role can be very demanding for both Mums and Dads.
So Dads, if you would like to find out more about your Sure Start Programme and how you can get involved, or you have ideas of how we can be supporting Dads in general, please contact us.
If you have any ideas or experiences you would like to share with us or other parents living in the area, please use our Parent Talk link.
