Community Support Services

At Dads Unlimited we are very aware of the lack of services that either cater for Single Dads who are Primary or Non-Primary Carers.

Not only that but, as we have identified, the population of Dads who are now Main Carers for their children has risen by 137% in just 3 years; and we now equate to 14% of the Single Parent Population.

However, the Single Dad community is still either very patchy, or nonexistent.

Combined with our drive to get Dads to start to open up, talk about their problems, deal with their Mental Health issues, combat their loneliness; at Dads Unlimited we want to build a community of Dads who can be there for each other.

The problem, as we see it, is that we, Men, are generally not the greatest at opening up about our feelings. As has been said, ‘Men can often feel isolated and unable to tell people how they are feeling – a culture of Men shouldering pain alone has developed’.

And do you know what – we think that is spot on.

We allow ourselves to carry the burden alone – and because of this so much can happen to us that is all preventable. We may become depressed, we may become hopeless, we begin to feel useless, we become lonely – we corner ourselves to thinking we are unloved and unloveable.

Dads have changed, and we at Dads Unlimited recognise this, and so we are re-defining fatherhood for the 21st Century.

Why don’t you join us – because ‘We are the change that we have been waiting for!’

The co-parenting programme was a groundbreaking moment. It has given me clarity. It has shifted my life so much. The quality of the mentoring support has been great. I was able to do things myself, but I received the support to take the correct routes. It empowered me, and I was in charge of my decisions but with the company of the mentoring service.
