Support for Dads

We know that when children have a good relationship with their Dad or male carer, they are more likely to do well in school and in life. We run lots of groups and activities that are just for dads. Find out what support is available for Dads in Blackpool here.

Community Connectors

We have a team of people who work in the community to help parents and families reach the help and support they need. Our fantastic team are easy to spot in their orange t-shirts, and can be found at Children’s Centres and at Better Start events throughout Blackpool. Meet the connectors here.
