🦁 What a day! 💙

Our Dads Rock trip to Colchester Zoo was packed with smiles, laughter and unforgettable memories. From meeting incredible animals to exploring the zoo together, it was wonderful seeing so many dads, grandads, male carers and their little ones enjoying quality time together.

These shared experiences help build stronger bonds, boost confidence and create friendships that last long after the day is over.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the trip so special. We hope you all had as much fun as we did!

We’re also incredibly grateful to and Fund for their continued support, helping us create opportunities like this for local families. Your investment in our community is making a real difference. 💙

Also thank you to our wonderful coach driver Ali from Read Travel who was very punctual and supportive.
