We recognise that community services can often appear to be geared around the needs of Mothers. 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.We run a Dads and Kids group on the second Sunday of every month at the Ilfracombe Children's Centre from 10am-12noon.
If you would like to find out more about how you can get involved, or you have ideas about how we can be supporting Dads in general, please let us know.
