Whether you're an expectant dad, a first-time dad, a stepdad, a same-sex dad, a co- parenting dad, a grandad, or you've been a dad for many years, you'll be very welcome. Hosted by Dave Saunders, CEO of From Lads to Dads, the evening will explore the unique and lasting impact fathers have on their children's emotional, social, and psychological development. Through an open and supportive discussion, Dave will share practical advice, evidence-based insights, and helpful resources while acknowledging the realities and challenges of fatherhood. The evening will also shine a light on dads' own wellbeing, recognising that fathers need support too. This is an opportunity to reflect, connect with other fathers, and discover why dads truly matter - and how your presence, relationship, and involvement can make a lifelong difference in your child's life.
