Welcome Dads
We are here for you
Sometimes it might feel that a lot of parenting advice and groups are aimed at mums, but we know that dads are just as important. Dads play a really important role in helping their children to be happy and healthy, and we want to help Blackpool dads be the best dads they possibly can be. Not only do our groups give you the skills and confidence to be a great dad, they also help you meet other local dads who are going through the same things as you are.
If you’re a dad or male role model and you want to find out more about services and groups that are available to you, please contact Colin on 07710 144989 or email Colin
