Dad Matters
How we support Dad’s in Gloucestershire
We recognise that every dad’s journey is unique and sometimes extra support is needed. That’s why we offer personalised one-on-one support for dads and dads-to-be. Whether you’re adjusting to fatherhood, facing mental health challenges, or simply need to discuss parenting concerns, our dedicated team is here to listen and provide guidance. Our one-on-one sessions offer practical advice, emotional support, and a safe space to talk about any issues you might be experiencing. Get in touch today to connect with a supportive resource who can help you thrive as a father.
Groups for Dads
At Dad Matters Gloucestershire, our Stay and Play sessions provide a welcoming space for dads and dads-to-be to bond with their little ones and connect with other fathers. These relaxed, informal gatherings offer a safe environment where you can enjoy quality time with your child, while sharing experiences and advice with fellow dads. Whether you’re looking to build new friendships, seek support, or simply have fun, our Stay and Play sessions are designed to make parenting a positive and engaging experience. Join us to create lasting memories and find the support you need on your fatherhood journey.
Hospital Drop-ins
We’re in the maternity ward at Gloucester Royal Hospital every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 12 PM to offer support, information, or even just a chat. Whether you’re a dad or a dad-to-be, we’re here for you.
“I feel more confident as a dad after attending these sessions. It’s been really helpful.”
