What started as one new father's search for support has grown into a thriving community helping dads and children across Belfast. We're so proud to be supporting DadBodsNI with a Save the Children innovation grant, which the group plans to use to reach even more dads with more specialised support. Fathers who meet as part of the group say it's had a really positive impact on their parenting, mental health, confidence, and family life. But it's also helped the children too. Michael, one of the trustees of Dadbods, said: "The impact it has on the kids has been so positive - it's making new friends, building social skills, getting out and about...it's just been really great for mental health but also physical health and helping people to become more connected." Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. You're doing a great job ❤️
