Community Events

Dads Unlimited have had a busy 2022 organising fundraising and community events post covid. We are very aware of the lack of services that cater to 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 equate to 14% of the Single Parent Population. However, the Single Dad community is still either very patchy, or non-existent.Combined with our drive to get Dads to start to open up, talk about their problems, deal with their Mental Health issues, and combat their loneliness; at Dads Unlimited we want to build a community of Dads who can be there for each other.

Please see below a range of events that have taken place so far this year:

On Saturday 7th of May 2022, Paddy’s Memorial Football Match took place at Hythe Town FC and was organised by Paddy’s family. The Sullivan family did a fantastic job, putting all of their efforts into this day. As a result, Dads Unlimited received £7,000 in donations from the Match, smashing through a figure we had no idea we could achieve thank you for all of the support we received. The response to the charity football match has humbled us all.  This event led to a fantastic exposure for Dads Unlimited.
 
Thank you to all who came down to support our charity football match in memory of Paddy Sullivan. A fantastic day and turn out from you all raising much-needed funds for Dads Unlimited.

Dads Unlimited have been invited to participate in this year’s Carnival of the Baubles, a show-stopping procession of giant illuminated lanterns and baubles making their way through Ashford Town on the 26th of November 2022. There will be plenty of Christmas music, craft workshops, festive food and Christmas markets throughout the day. The best part…. It is all free!

As one of the participating groups, we have been offered to attend free-family-friendly workshops in the lead-up to the event to create illuminated lanterns. Workshops for Dads Unlimited will take place over two days on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th of November, 11am – 2 pm at The Craftship (Opposite Made in Ashford in Park Mall).

We have 10 places for the workshops, which are suitable for all ages, so if you or your children would like to attend, then, please get in contact with millie@dadsunltd.org.uk

We had a brilliant day on the 25th of June 2022 at the Kennington Summer Fayre raising the profile for Dads Unlimited. We raised an incredible £580. A phenomenal effort from all involved. Thank you to everyone that came along and supported us. It was great to see so many people getting together and enjoying the community spirit. Our stall was the first to sell out at 1.45pm! Dads Unlimited looks forward to doing it again next year. The fayre saw approximately 10,000 visitors.

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.
