Activ Dads

Are you a dad/grand-dad or male carer living in Solihull? Do you want to spend more quality time with your children in well equipped and friendly environments?

Activ-Dads is open to all dads and male carers with children under five, or children under eight with additional needs.  Dads-to-be are also welcome to come along.

The groups provide lots of fun and interesting activities, groups and trips, such as sports, gardening and arts and crafts. They run after work and at weekends in some centres.

We can also link you to other activities which can help you and your family, such as family support and health services or help with employment and training.

Everyone is down to earth and friendly. Most activities are free or cost very little. We'd be very happy to talk to you about our activities or maybe you have your own ideas for a new group or activity that we can help with.

Activ-Dads groups are running in the following Children's Centres this summer term (2011).  You are welcome to come along.
