Strengthening Communities Through Fatherhood
we know it’s tough.
We are an independent charitable organisation dedicated to helping men become great fathers and husbands. We specialise in supporting men to manage anger, enhance physical fitness and wellbeing, and develop strong parenting skills and healthy relationships.
The Father’s Course
The programme includes a 14-week course, followed by a weekly peer support group held every Monday evening.
This group provides graduates a dedicated space to connect, share experiences, and continue supporting one another on their journey.
The Fathers For Families programme, together with its peer support group and fitness initiative, is tailored specifically for fathers. Over the past seven years, our experienced facilitators have supported men in navigating significant and complex life challenges, including past convictions, trauma and other personal obstacles
