Hello,

Chard Community Hub is growing the support we offer to local families, and we’re excited to explore developing something specifically for local Dads. We’ve received a small pot of funding to begin this work, but we don’t want to decide what this group looks like without hearing from the people it’s for.

Charlie, Cam and I are keen to support this work, but feel it will be best to involve local Dad's to create what is best!

We’re looking to connect with Dads who would like to:

Share ideas about what support would be helpful
Help design a new group or project
Or simply stay informed
You don’t need to come with any answers, just a willingness to chat and think together about what could make it easier to be a Dad in Chard today.

If you are know a Dad, or are a Dad or just know someone who might be interested, please do let us know via email, [email protected]

All thoughts and suggestions are very welcome.

Thank you,

Meg, Cam and Charlie
